Gov. Kevin Stitt has signed into law a bill that aims to protect election workers in the state.

State Supreme Court justices heard arguments from both sides on Tuesday in a case that bring into question the constitutionality of Georgia's abortion law, which currently bans abortions past about six weeks of pregnancy. 

Thursday on Political Rewind: Some Georgians are waiting in lines as long as two hours in order to cast their vote early, as a new poll shows Sen. Raphael Warnock slightly ahead of Herschel Walker, but within the margin of error. Meanwhile, the first pre-file ahead of the 2023 legislative session is a response to Georgia's abortion ban.

Georgia’s strict abortion ban was debated again in court this week as part of a bench trial in a constitutional challenge of the recently implemented law.

With abortion regulation now left up to the states, pro-lifers and abortion advocates are making legislative moves within their communities and states to either protect life or ensure that women believe they only have one option.

The Georgia Department of Revenue said it will recognize "an unborn child with a detectable heartbeat" thus soon-to-be parents may file for tax claims as early as the sixth week of the pregnancy.

Georgia’s new abortion law and controversial personhood language will create a flurry of confusion that experts argue will likely tie up state courts with challenges.
