Georgia’s Supreme Court ruled Monday (Oct. 7) to reinstate the LIFE Act (HB 481), protecting unborn children’s lives from abortion after six weeks.

After Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney struck down the pro-life legislation HB 481 in early Oct., many in the state of Georgia mourned, according to the Washington Stand. But not for long! (LEARN MORE: NFL Legend Slams Harris’ Abortion Comments)

Though the battle is not over, the court’s ruling allows the law to remain “in place while an appeal is heard on a Fulton County judge’s decision to strike down the law as ‘arbitrary,’” according to The Daily Wire. “Six of the justices agreed in full with the majority ruling, and another only in part. One justice did not participate and another had been disqualified from participating in the case,” added the New York Times.

FRC Center for Human Dignity director Mary Szoch said “the court’s decision to reinstate the law that was passed by the representatives of the people of Georgia is significantly more representative of their views [especially when compared to] the previous dictatorial ruling of one judge striking down the lifesaving law.”

“When a state law changed from protecting life completely or at least after a certain stage in pregnancy to not protecting life at all,” she continued, adding that the reality is “the number of lives lost increases dramatically.” Szoch says this situation is an essential part of the 2024 election process.

“My hope is that every American will recognize the significance of enshrining a law allowing innocent unborn babies to be killed all the way through birth in their constitution — and my prayer is that Americans will reject this evil by voting in defense of life,” she continued. “In every state where life is on the ballot, pro-lifers have to show up.”
