Fulton County Judge Overturns Georgia's Heartbeat Abortion Bill
[Breitbart] A left-wing Fulton County, Georgia, judge has overturned the Peach State’s heartbeat bill that bans abortions after around six weeks.Fulton County is perhaps the most far-left county in Georgia and Judge Robert C. I. McBurney essentially took what the left considers to be the strongest constitutional arguments to invent a right to abortion and applied them to Georgia’s state constitution. The arguments stem from Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey — both of which were overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in June — which, due to their overturns, are now being used to read a right to the procedure into state constitutions in lieu of the federal guarantee. "At that time — the spring of 2019 — everywhere in America, including Georgia, it was unequivocally unconstitutional for governments — federal, state, or local — to ban abortions before viability," McBurney wrote of Georgia’s 2019 LIFE Act. Georgia argued that the new Dobbs ruling did not reflect a change in constitutional law "because there was never a federal constitutional right to abortion." But in a footnote, McBurney snidely replied, "Except there was. For 50 years. And we know it because the very same Supreme Court told us so. Repeatedly." Posted by: Besoeker 2022-11-17 |
