Attorney General Todd Rokita takes strong stand for the unborn in co-leading multistate defense of Georgia pro-life law

Attorney General Todd Rokita is taking yet another strong step to protect the lives of unborn children — this time co-leading a multistate coalition defending a Georgia law prohibiting most abortions after detection of a fetal heartbeat.

Pro-abortion advocates are challenging the law, claiming the Georgia constitution creates a right to abortion on demand.

“By helping preserve pro-life laws in other states, we can prevent precedents that might endanger pro-life laws here in Indiana,” Attorney General Rokita said. “This law protecting innocent unborn children is rock-solid from a legal perspective and should easily survive the baseless challenges aimed against it.”

The idea that general protections for privacy equal a right to obtain abortions is the same flawed reasoning that the U.S. Supreme Court rejected when it overturned Roe v. Wade with the 2022 Dobbs decision, notes an amicus brief co-led by Attorney General Rokita and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.

“Yet Appellees invoke Georgia’s general right of privacy in an attempt to revive Roe in Georgia,” the brief states.

Attorney General Rokita also continues defending a robust pro-life law passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2022.

“While others may waver under political pressure, I will always stand strong for the right to life just as I defend so many other Indiana laws,” Attorney General Rokita said. “That’s what it means to have the courage of one’s convictions, and no cause is more important.

The amicus brief is attached.
