Southeast Planned Parenthood says they'll help patients cross state lines if Roe V. Wade is overturned

In April, women held signs to protest the Georgia abortion bill at the state Capitol in Atlanta. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp. A federal lawsuit was filed Friday challenging the law, set to take effect Jan. 1, that effectively bans abortions about six weeks into a pregnancy.

If the leaked draft of the majority opinion to strike down Roe v. Wade holds up in the nation’s highest court, Planned Parenthood officials told WABE they’re prepared to aid abortion patients cross state lines.

Hundreds of both anti-abortion and abortion rights advocates are already protesting outside the Supreme Court after the leaked draft ruling was published by Politico on Monday. More protests took over Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park.

As written now, the draft ruling leaves the legality of abortion, and how far along in a pregnancy a woman can undergo the procedure, up to the states.
