Georgia asks judge to dismiss lawsuit challenging 'heartbeat' law

[mfcorey1]

Attorneys representing the state told a federal judge that Georgia’s new anti-abortion law is “constitutional and justified” and asked him to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the measure.

Filed in federal court Monday, attorneys representing the state said with House Bill 481 — which outlaws most abortions once a doctor can detect fetal cardiac activity — Georgia has an interest in “protecting the life of the unborn; promoting respect for life at all stages of pregnancy; protecting maternal health and safety; and safeguarding the ethics and integrity of the medical profession.”The American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia is suing the state over its new anti-abortion law on behalf of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective and other abortion rights advocates and providers.

1. "...promoting respect for life at all stages of pregnancy..."

That's right wing code for "no birth control."

2. All life except the woman's

She’s just an incubator, not a real human being.
