You knew this was going to happen, right?
Here it is:
“Personally, I’m not itching to prosecute people under this law. I don’t think anybody else is either. But I think it’s improper to say I’ll never prosecute anybody under the law,” Douglas County DA Ryan Leonard said. “We don’t have the luxury to say, ‘I don’t like this law and I’m not going to enforce it.’”

Douglas County District Attorney Ryan Leonard told the Daily Report on Wednesday that women in Georgia need to be on notice that they can potentially be prosecuted for murder if they have abortions after the new “heartbeat law” takes effect in January.
“If you look at it from purely a legal standpoint, if you take the life of another human being, it’s murder,” Leonard said of the “heartbeat bill” Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law this month.
They have always denied that they had this in mind. It never made sense otherwise.
