The supreme court of Georgia has upheld the state's ban on abortion after six-weeks of pregnancy.
Georgia had passed the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (Life) Act in 2019 that bans abortion, with some exceptions, when early heartbeat is detected.
It took effect after the US Supreme Court overturned the federal right to an abortion under Roe v Wade in 2022.
A group of abortion rights supporters challenged the law, and called for its repeal.
