ATLANTA — A Fulton County judge on Monday began hearing arguments on the constitutionality of Georgia’s new abortion law, which took effect earlier this year.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney told the attorneys involved that he did not expect to issue a decision until after the Nov. 8 election.
“I set an aggressive schedule because this is an issue that needs attention now and not in three months,” McBurney said. “It probably needed attention three months ago, but here we are.”
