Dear Team,

Your support is making an impact. Just yesterday, a Georgia state court struck down the state's six-week abortion ban! This is a massive win for our clients, the people they serve, and for reproductive rights. And it's all made possible by YOU. [[link removed]]

The court ruled that the ban was unconstitutional, finding that the state constitution prohibits government interference with abortion decisions before viability. This ruling recognizes that the Georgia constitution protects the right to abortion and expands access across the region.

KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING [[link removed]]

Judge Robert McBurney didn't just strike down the law, but criticized it for forcing women to be "human incubators." He stated, "Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote."

This victory comes less than three weeks after a North Dakota judge struck down that state's abortion ban in a separate case The Center is litigating. In fact, the Georgia decision cites our North Dakota win.

We're determined to sustain this momentum to strike down other abortion bans and build state constitutional protections nationwide. That's why we're EXTENDING OUR 3X MATCH FOR 24 MORE HOURS! [[link removed]]

This critical win, led by the Center for Reproductive Rights alongside our partners, means that clinicians can once again provide vital care without fear of criminalization. Your support allows the Center to fight for abortion rights in court—and the rulings in Georgia and North Dakota prove that when we fight, we can win! [[link removed]]

Even this fight continues: as I write, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has already filed an appeal to the state Supreme Court to reinstate the six-week ban—but we plan to fight back to preserve this win and ensure every Georgian can access the care they need.

P.S. Our work is far from over—18 states still ban abortion completely or after six weeks of pregnancy, before many even know they are pregnant. Please, make your gift BEFORE MIDNIGHT to have three times the impact on the fight for reproductive rights. [[link removed]]
