“In light of binding precedent, the Court determines that Plaintiffs have met their burden for the issuance of a preliminary injunction,” Judge Steve Jones said in a 47-page order Tuesday. “Plaintiffs have also shown that, absent a preliminary injunction, they will suffer irreparable harm. By banning pre-viability abortions, H.B. 481 violates the constitutional right to privacy."

A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of a new Georgia law against abortion while the constitutional challenge is pending.
Judge Steve Jones of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday against House Bill 481, which outlaws abortion upon detection of an embrionic pulse. The statute says it could apply as early as six weeks into pregnancy and carries an effective date of Jan. 1, 2020.
