"Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote." This is an amazing court decision and shows that this male judge actually gets it. This is not a long decision (26 pages) but everyone needs to read it. I also love the snark in some of the footnotes, the way the judge included in the decision the vagueness of the law (all of these abortion bans are intentionally vague) and the political reasoning in choosing an arbitrary 6-week ban. This suit was filed by OB/GYNs, reproductive heath centers and others who were able to speak to the medical aspects of abortion. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

While the women of Georgia are rightfully rejoicing the impact of this ruling, let us all remind them this will not be the end of attempts to interfere with their right to liberty and privacy. It remains crucial that they register and VOTE!
