Legislation Made Simple

Join co-hosts Patty Decraene and Jane Robbins as they help you become more aware of how the Georgia legislature operates and what is happening under the Gold Dome.

A look at the Heartbeat Law in Georgia


In our second episode of Legislation Made Simple, we discuss the status of pro-life legal protections in the wake of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last June. By overturning Roe v. Wade, Dobbs sent the abortion issue back to the states to regulate the procedure as they see fit. In Georgia, that means the Heartbeat Law (prohibiting abortion when the baby has a detectable heartbeat) is back in effect, pending efforts by pro-abortion forces to have it struck down. We also discuss exactly how the Heartbeat Law operates – clarifying the wild claims of its opponents – and what challenges remain for the legislature.
