(Reuters) – A state court judge on Monday blocked a Georgia law banning abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy, finding it violated the rights to privacy and liberty guaranteed by the state constitution.

The order from Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney allows abortions to resume for now, though the state can appeal to have the law reinstated.
