History

Historical Context

In 2019, Georgia's Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act banned most abortions after six weeks, mirroring a national trend toward stricter abortion laws. This legislation, supported by Governor Brian Kemp, has faced legal challenges, particularly after the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, which allowed states to enforce such bans. The ongoing legal battles significantly impact women's reproductive rights across the United States.
