Case Summary

The ACLU, the ACLU of Georgia, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Planned Parenthood filed this suit on June 28, 2019, challenging an imminent Georgia law banning abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The plaintiffs, which also included health care providers and their patients, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, against the Georgia state governor, attorney general, health officials, and district attorneys. On due process grounds, the plaintiffs sought to enjoin the state government officials from enforcing the bill, H.B. 481 (a.k.a. the LIFE Act), a declaration from the court that the bill violated the Fourteenth Amendment, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The case was assigned to Judge Steve C. Jones.

On October 1, 2019, the court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. 410 F. Supp. 3d 1327. The court agreed that Plaintiffs were likely to show that H.B. 481 violated Georgians’ right to privacy and liberty under the Fourteenth Amendment, based on the relaxed standard for facial challenges to abortion laws under Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The court also noted that it was bound by the clear precedent of higher courts, particularly Roe v. Wade and Casey. The court further agreed that the bill was unconstitutionally vague, permitting arbitrary or discriminatory enforcement. Because an injunction would preserve the status quo, the court found that an injunction was clearly in the public interest.

Discovery took place over four months, after which both parties moved for summary judgment. On July 13, 2020, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, issuing a permanent injunction from enforcement of H.B. 481 and declaring the law unconstitutional. 472 F. Supp. 3d 1297. In so doing, the court expanded on its reasoning from the order granting a preliminary injunction. Because they contradicted clear Supreme Court precedent (Roe v. Wade, Casey, and their progeny), the court found illegal H.B. 481’s pre-viability abortion ban as well as the bill’s redefinition of “natural person” throughout the entire Georgia Code. The court also invalidated the bill on grounds that it was overbroad, and because the unconstitutional statutory definitions permeated the entire bill, the court declined to sever any portions of H.B. 481. Attorneys’ fees were to be determined after the conclusion of the anticipated appeal.

The defendants appealed the decision. On September 27, 2021, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit decided to stay the case pending the decision in the Supreme Court case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. After Dobbs deemed that abortion was not a constitutionally protected right, the appellate court issued a ruling on July 20, 2022 and vacated the injunction, reversed the judgment in favor of the plaintiff, and remanded the case with instructions to enter judgment in favor of the state officials. On October 21, 2022, the trial court issued an order making the mandate of the appellate decision the judgment of the trial court. The trial court then denied Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and granted the motion for summary judgment filed by the defendants, thereby terminating the case.
