A federal lawsuit challenging FDA rules allowing telehealth and mail delivery access to the abortion pill mifepristone could further restrict abortion access in Georgia, where 68% of abortion patients in 2022 were Black. Since Georgia's six-week abortion ban took effect, telehealth has become a key method for obtaining abortion care, especially for Black residents, and any limitations on this access may worsen the state's high Black maternal mortality rate.

Georgia's six-week abortion ban, HB 481, has been in effect for four years, resulting in at least two women dying and two abortion clinics closing in the state.

Alexia Moore, a Black Georgia woman, was charged with malice murder after allegedly taking abortion pills to terminate a pregnancy past six weeks, raising concerns about pregnancy criminalization under Georgia's restrictive abortion laws.

A Georgia woman who was about 22 or 23 weeks pregnant ordered abortion drugs by mail, which are only authorized for use up to about 10 weeks, and after taking the drugs, her baby was delivered alive but died about an hour later due to damage from the drugs.

A Georgia state judge set bail at $1 for Alexia Moore, who was charged with murder after taking abortion pills, calling the charge "extremely problematic."

A Georgia woman, Alexia Moore, was charged with murder for allegedly causing the death of her newborn infant by ingesting illegal opioids and abortion pills, with the infant born alive and surviving for an hour before dying.
