Two weeks after the deaths of two Georgia women highlighted the very real risks to maternal health posed by the state’s six-week abortion ban, a judge has thrown out that draconian law, declaring it unconstitutional in a remarkable ruling that drips with sarcasm and rage. It’s a resounding legal victory in a key swing state that is likely to reverberate throughout the South—at least temporarily. “A review of our higher courts’ interpretations of ‘liberty’ demonstrates that liberty in Georgia includes…the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her health care choices,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote in a 26-page order issued Monday.

Bonta’s office announced that it was suing the owners of Providence St.

The Denver City Council on Monday approved a $125,000 settlement with a man who was arrested and jailed for six days in 2022, then spent months fighting prosecution for the theft of a truck that he did not commit. Attorneys for Scott Carey filed a lawsuit in July 2023 stemming from what they termed as Carey’s false arrest the prior summer.
