Closer Look with Rose Scott

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney struck down Georgia’s six-week abortion ban. The ban took effect nearly two years ago after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Following McBurney’s ruling, abortions are now legal in the state of Georgia up until 22 weeks of pregnancy. Andrea Young, who serves as the executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, shares her reaction to McBurney’s ruling.

Plus, tributes are pouring for former Pres. and Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter. The humanitarian and founder of The Carter Center turns 100 years old on Tuesday.

Lastly, the sale of The Mall of West End has been finalized. We hear from Charles Taylor, a board member of the WABE Foundation and a principal owner of H.T. West End LLC, and developers Andrew Katz with The Prusik Group and Meredith Marshall with BRP Companies. They discuss the sale and what it means for the future of the shopping destination.
