The new law makes it a crime for a doctor to perform an abortion if a woman has been pregnant for six weeks or longer
ATLANTA—Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed one of the country’s most restrictive abortion laws over protests from women’s groups, abortion-rights activists and about 80 actors who signed a letter threatening to no longer film in the state.
The new law, which conservative groups and politicians applauded, bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks. Current Georgia law allows a woman to get an abortion up to 20 weeks after conception.
