| 0:00.0 | Now diving into the main topic, last week, in a massive victory for the pro-life cause, |
| 0:17.8 | the States Supreme Court of Georgia, they went ahead, they struck down a lower court's |
| 0:22.0 | decision, and in so doing, they ruled that the state's heartbeat law is in fact constitutional, |
| 0:27.8 | meaning that they upheld the six-week abortion ban that was in, you can say, legislative |
| 0:32.4 | limbo within the state for about the last four years now. |
| 0:35.2 | Although in order to explain how exactly we got to this point, as well as what this means |

| 1:24.2 | sent the whole issue of abortions back down to the level of the individual states. |
| 1:29.3 | Here's part of what the majority opinion said, again, back in June of last year, quote, |
| 1:33.3 | we hold that Roe and Casey, which is another abortion related case, must be overruled. |
| 1:37.8 | The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected |
| 1:42.1 | by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and |
