Fulton County, Georgia Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney – a name some might recognize from the litigation over the grand jury investigation into fat former President Trump and his co-conspirators for their post-2020 election coup attempt in the state before it passed to Judge Scott McAfee – on Monday ruled in favor of the Sistersong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective et al and found the state’s six-week abortion ban, enacted in 2022, to be unconstitutional.
Of course the state’s going to appeal this and of course the state Supreme Court is (probably) going to rule in Governor Brian Kemp’s favor in the end but the ruling probably comes at an inopportune time for Republicans, especially considering the ban is exactly what killed Amber Thurman in 2022.
