Slavery denied peoples rights. Slavery was left to the states. We, the people, decided that leaving the rights of people to the states was wrong then. It is wrong now!

[Exodus]

I'm not an abortion fan. So I will not get an abortion... I don't drink alcohol. I don't smoke cigarettes
or marijuana.. I don't do drugs. No tattoos. But I eat too much, and that's My business with my doctor and not the government's business.

[AGJ]

Many people want abortion to be banned, but don't want to give the time or money to help the women who have to raise the children or the children born in an environment they're set up to fail in.

Why did it take two women to have to die before they realized the depths an unviable pregnancy can cause to a woman. Children's have lost their mother because of this state's decision 2yrs ago...

[AprilBetzer]

Well, they can’t have it both ways. Way to go, Georgia!

[JricoPruitt]

About time someone's eyes are open ...

[nicholaspagano]

What is the name ]style] of this case? When was this case decided?

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!! GOOD JUDGE AND WELL WRITTEN!! TUNE UP

[CSofMaricopa]

Abortion is not about a Womens body, its about the babies body.

[mindforgecollective]

My opinion is not popular, and I don't GAF, it's my opinion. Close your legs or use protection. Killing babies is not contraception, it's murder. Just because the Government has given you permission doesn't change that.

[RaeAnne]

I'm a conservative in Georgia, but I agree with this new law. I'm glad abortion laws were put back on the states instead of the federal government.

[ospmfjd]

Finally someone in the south with some actual sense.

[Chugwater_Cowboy]

"Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote.

'liberty' includes the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices."

     -Judge Robert McBurney

[lolly]

Even though I’m not in favor of a six week abortion band, I feel like this will go to the Supreme Court who’s already ruled the state and set the limits on this and will override the Georgia Supreme Court rolling. Does not seem like what is going to happen?

[msmusa]

Stop treating women as a live stock. Body Autonomy Now!!!

[Erin-irhy]

Great news! Trump said he wanted it tossed back to the states, so now republicans need to stop wailing about it. Most Americans support the standards under Roe v Wade. The bottom line is, mind your own damn business. Stay out of other people's bedrooms and doctor's offices. That's very WEIRD to be all up in other people's private lives like that.

BLEED OUT IN PARKING LOTS DUE TO THE PILL

[kathyjordan]

THIS is a state issue- they have changed it from 6 weeks to 22 weeks-
Abortion should not be an election issue- it is at the state level- if you don’t like what YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS have implemented through the legislative branch in your state-VOTE THEM OUT!! There are far more pressing issue that this country is in- mind you, due to the mismanagement of the current administration.

[chrisbailey]

If you can watch the procedure at ANY point in the pregnancy and think it's not wrong then you are ill. Seriously ill, and should find help immediately.

There's only a few reasons it should EVER be allowed. Even then it should be done immediately. As early as possible.

Judging by these comments there's alot of sickness spreading.

[rochelledaniel]

I ask how many of the people who insist a baby be born into a bad situation. How many of them have foster children or adopted children in their homes.❤
