This Week,” a series that highlights noteworthy news related to women and U.S. foreign policy. This week’s post covers October 5 to October 11.

The 2019 ban will be reinstated at 5 p.m. on Oct. 7, meaning abortion will once again be inaccessible for the vast majority of Georgia residents.

Georgia's Supreme Court on Monday reinstated the state's ban on abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. The big picture: The ruling, which goes into effect Monday, comes one week after a lower court struck down the ban and allowed abortions to legally take place until about 22 weeks of pregnancy.

The ban will resume while the court considers an appeal to a decision that had briefly restored greater access to abortions in the state.

Georgia's Republican Attorney General Chris Carr has challenged a judge's overturning of the state's six-week abortion ban. On Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that the ban—which was instated in 2022 and effectively outlawed abortions beyond six weeks of pregnancy—violated Georgia's state constitution.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote in his decision that the six-week abortion ban, which was passed in 2019 but went into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, violated Georgia’s constitution. The decision allows the state to resume abortions up until about 22 weeks of pregnancy.

The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday moved to restore the state’s six-week abortion ban as it considers an appeal.

Abortions after six weeks of pregnancy will be illegal in Georgia as of Monday evening, as the Georgia Supreme Court halted a ruling that struck down the state’s six-week abortion ban, once again putting the Southern state among more than a dozen states that now restrict abortion.
