Georgia is the latest state to sign a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, although precedent suggests it will face legal challenges.

Brian Kemp acknowledged the possible legal trouble ahead shortly before signing the bill into law Tuesday. Planned Parenthood released a statement moments after the bill was signed saying they intend to file a lawsuit to stop it from going into effect.
