Federal judge permanently blocks Georgia 'heartbeat' abortion law

Jeff Amy - Associated Press - Updated: 5:56 p.m. on Monday, July 13, 2020

ATLANTA — A federal judge on Monday permanently blocked Georgia’s 2019 “heartbeat” abortion law, finding that it violates the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. District Judge Steve Jones ruled against the state in a lawsuit filed by abortion providers and an advocacy group. Jones had temporarily blocked the law in October, and it never went into effect. The new ruling permanently enjoins the state from ever enforcing House Bill 481.  .  .  .

And the tyranny continues.  The Fourteenth Amendment was mentioned, but there was no explanation at all of how it was violated.

The legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, one of the groups that brought the lawsuit, said any appeal would be fruitless.

“The district court blocked Georgia’s abortion ban, because it violates over 50 years of Supreme Court precedent

This is the exact same argument Democrats made in defense of segregation.
