Georgia clinics that provide abortion are facing more uncertainty amid another round of federal court challenges over a commonly used drug for medication abortion and early pregnancy loss.

Meanwhile, a ruling is also expected soon from the Georgia Supreme Court in a lawsuit challenging the state’s abortion restrictions that ban the procedure at roughly six weeks of pregnancy.  

Justices at the Georgia Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case last month.
