ATLANTA — A Fulton County Superior Court judge on Monday heard arguments on whether the Georgia Constitution's right to privacy should stop the state's new abortion law from being enforced.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney listened to about two hours of arguments from attorneys representing the state and those challenging the law, saying he would make decision about whether to temporarily stop enforcement of the law while the case makes its way through the legal process.
"I understand that this is something that needs immediate attention," McBurney said. "This is an important issue that has been rippling across the country and we need to deal with how Georgia — or at least one little judge in Fulton County — is going to deal with it, initially, and you all are going to take it to bigger and better places once I've had my say."
