The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the state’s anti-abortion restrictions. But the 6-1 ruling doesn’t end the fight over abortion rights at the courthouse or the ballot box.

In this episode of the Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut discuss the legal and political implications of the court’s decision. They’re joined by Maya T. Prabhu to unpack what’s next.

Also, a fourth defendant in the Fulton County election-interference case is now cooperating with prosecutors, as attorney Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty to a felony charge and issued an emotional apology. You’ll hear directly from Ellis.

And as Republicans in the U.S. House continue their scramble to elect a speaker, Georgia U.S. Rep. Austin Scott is eliminated from the running. There are continuing questions of whether the GOP conference will find a consensus on a candidate.
