Rep. Mike Cameron says it was time for Georgia’s abortion law to change

Court ruling makes fetal heartbeat ban the law of the state

ROSSVILLE, Georgia (WDEF) – The abortion laws changed abruptly in Georgia on Wednesday following a court ruling.

A federal appeals court overturned an injunction of Georgia’s Heartbeat abortion ban.

The legislation essentially bans abortion in the state of Georgia after six weeks of pregnancy.

There are reports that some clinics had to inform clients already waiting for abortions on Wednesday that the law just changed.

But State Representative Mike Cameron says it was time after the Roe-V-Wade ruling.

“The injunction’s been lifted, so there’s no reason the Heartbeat Bill can’t be implemented. And I agree with the decision. The only thing holding it up was the appeals court saying that Roe Versus Wade, and since that’s been overturned, there’s no reason not to implement.”

Georgia’s heartbeat bill does contain exceptions for rape and incest if police reports have been filed.

Abortions can be performed later in pregnancy if the pregnant woman’s life is at risk.
