District Attorneys from across metro Atlanta say they won't prosecute women for abortions.
District attorneys across metro Atlanta have said they would not prosecute a woman for seeking out an abortion in Georgia under the new “heartbeat” law, which would criminalize abortion after six weeks – when a fetal pulse is detected.
Questions about the legality of the bill have been swift from the medical and legal community about how the law would be enforced. The law makes certain exceptions for cases of rape or incest and if the woman’s life is endangered by the pregnancy.
The Fulton County District Attorney's Office said it has no plans to prosecute women under the new law. That extends to doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers as well. He intends to follow the Roe v. Wade decision.
“DA Howard has no intention of ever prosecuting a woman under this new law,” said Chris Hopper, director of public affairs for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.
The same is true in Gwinnett County.
“… this office will not be prosecuting any women under the new law as long as I’m District Attorney,” said Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter.
Sherry Boston, DeKalb County’s district attorney, echoed the statements of her peers:
In Cobb County, District Attorney John Melvin said he would "absolutely not" prosecute a woman for seeking out an abortion -- but he didn't say that he wouldn't pursue cases against those held liable under law -- including doctors, nurses and pharmacists.

They aren't going to risk being charged with a felony.
