    Georgia’s Republican Attorney General Chris Carr clarified in a statement that the state’s law doesn’t compel medical professionals to maintain life support for a woman declared brain dead.

    “Removing life support is not an action ‘with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy,’” Carr explained.

    Even if he’s not straight up lying, it’s not the AG’s call to make. If some local prosecutor wants to go full hog and bring charges against a hospital, it’ll be the courts that determine the purpose of the action and who knows what they’ll decide.
