  The law bans doctors from performing abortions five months
after an egg is fertilized, except when doctors decide a fetus
has a defect so severe it is unlikely to live. The law also
makes an exception to protect the life or health of the mother,
though that does not apply to a mother's mental health.  The
American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia filed a lawsuit on
behalf of three obstetricians challenging the law's
constitutionality. The organization says the law violates the
state's privacy protections as provided for in the state
constitution.
