Team Harris opens debate with epic trolls from Trump and JD Vance

McBurney had some poignant words for politicians in his ruling: “It is not the job of a legislator, a judge, or a commander from The Handmaid's Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies at this time when the fetus cannot survive outside.” The uterus is no more affected than society could or should force it to serve as a human tissue bank or give up one kidney for another.”

He added: “The interpretations of 'freedom' by our higher courts show that freedom in Georgia includes in its meaning, in its protections and in its bundle of rights a woman's power to control her own body and decide what what happens to him.” and in it, and reject government interference in their health decisions.”

The state law banned abortions after six weeks, based on the misleading assumption that a “heartbeat” could be detected in an embryo at that point. In reality an embryo has no heart after six weeks, not to mention cardiac activity. Even outside the body, a fetus is not viable until much later in the pregnancy.
