Family Policy Alliance of Georgia Statement on Federal Judge’s Ruling Against Heartbeat Law

ATLANTA, GA – Family Policy Alliance of Georgia is disappointed in a federal judge’s ruling today against Georgia’s recently passed  “Heartbeat” law. The law prevented abortions of babies with a heartbeat and provided parents with important benefits affirming life inside the womb – benefits that should not be controlled by the U.S. Supreme Court’s abortion precedent. Cole Muzio, President of Family Policy Alliance of Georgia, released the following statement in response:

“Today’s decision reflects both a reckless adherence to the dubious precedent of Roe v. Wade and a wanton abuse of judicial activism. The judge’s decree even robs parents of common sense tax and child support provisions that affirm what mothers and fathers already know – that their baby is a child and already a part of their family. We can no longer sacrifice science and evident truth at the altar of the abortion lobby, and we refuse to continue to allow discrimination of persons based on their developmental status and location. Family Policy Alliance of Georgia stands with Governor Kemp in continuing to fight for this law through the legal process and at the ballot box. As our nation strives to come to a place of recognizing the value of every person, we hope to see this process result in the end of the horrifying systematic oppression of the vulnerable our society: abortion.”
