Supreme Court Lets Stand Pro-Life Kentucky Ultrasound Law

In a victory for the pro-life movement, the United States Supreme Court rejected a challenge to a Kentucky ultrasound law, allowing it to remain in place. The law requires women seeking abortions to receive an ultrasound and review the images prior to going through with the procedure. If a heartbeat is detected, the sound is also played. Kentucky has argued that it is simply an informed consent law, but a legal challenge from pro-abortion groups has kept the law from being enforced until a ruling was delivered. The challengers stated that such a law violates doctors’ First Amendment rights, with

Kentucky Gov. Bevin Concedes Defeat as GOP Pushes for Victory in Louisiana

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has conceded defeat in the state’s gubernatorial race to Democrat Andy Beshear. The concession comes over a week after the election, which was too close to call on election night. Beshear led by just over 5,100 votes on election night, a margin of less than 0.4 percent. A re-canvass left that margin essentially unchanged, leading Bevin to forgo the possibility of a recount request. Democrats are declaring Beshear’s victory a harbinger of things to come in 2020 after winning a statewide race in Trump country. But the circumstances in Kentucky are unique. Kentucky has long voted

Kentucky Fetal Heartbeat Law Blocked by Federal Judge

Just hours after Governor Matt Bevin signed Kentucky’s fetal heartbeat bill into law on Friday, a federal judge temporarily blocked it. The law was set to become one of the strictest anti-abortion measures in the country. It would block abortions occurring after a fetal heartbeat was detected, which is typically detectable by six weeks into a pregnancy. Considering 90 percent of abortions in Kentucky take place later than the six-week marker, the law would serve to effectively limit almost all abortions in the state, excluding those that are necessary to prevent death or serious harm to the mother. Judge David

Judge’s Ruling Allows Kentucky’s Last Abortion Clinic to Stay Open

On Friday, a federal judge struck down a Kentucky law that would have caused the last abortion clinic in the state to shut its doors. The law, which had been in effect for two decades, required Kentucky abortion clinics to have written transfer agreements. These agreements would be drawn up to connect the clinic with local ambulance services and hospitals in case something went wrong during a procedure and emergency medical care was needed. U.S. District Judge Greg Stivers ruled that the law was unconstitutional. “The court has carefully reviewed the evidence presented in this case and concludes that the
