ATLANTA — Georgia is poised to implement some of the country's strictest restrictions on abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday ended constitutional protections for the procedure.
That is likely to heighten the debate over whether Georgia is doing enough to help expectant mothers and newborns or if it needs to strengthen its social safety net.
Until now, Georgia has had a worse record of keeping pregnant women, new mothers and infants healthy and alive than most states.
