It may just be election-year politics, but the explosion of pro-life legislation across the United States is so exciting to see. It means countless lives are going to be saved.
Now we can add Kentucky to the list of states to pass bills protecting unborn lives: A victory that's even more impressive considering state representatives had to overcome Democrat Governor Andy Beshear.
From CNN:
Kentucky's GOP-controlled legislature on Wednesday overrode Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of a broad abortion bill that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, restricts access to medication abortion and makes it more difficult for a minor to obtain an abortion in the state.
Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Kentucky swiftly announced plans to challenge the law.
House Bill 3 prohibits a physician from performing, inducing or attempting to perform or induce an abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, except in a medical emergency. It does not include exceptions for cases of rape and incest.
The measure requires that drugs used in a medication abortion be provided only by a qualified physician and bars the drugs from being sent via mail.
Oh no! Doctors can't kill unborn babies after 15-weeks! How will the left fulfill its bloodlust now?
Oh, and if you do perform a life-ending abortion you have to be an actual doctor and not some intern.
And you can't send baby-killing drugs through the mail anymore!
The left is big mad that the legislature was able to override the veto of their hero in the Kentucky governor's mansion.
The legislation also amends Kentucky law that deals with minors obtaining abortions.
Current statutes do not allow for such abortions unless an attending physician obtains the "informed written consent" of the minor and a parent or legal guardian, the minor is emancipated or a court grants a minor's petition for an abortion. The bill now makes it a requirement for a consenting parent or legal guardian to make a "reasonable attempt to notify" any other parent with joint or physical custody at least 48 hours before providing consent.
So, now it can't be just one parent giving consent for a minor to abort their child. The other parent or guardian has to be notified at least 2 days before the procedure.
This prevents one parent from secretly approving the murder of their grandchild without the other parent's permission.
This is a very strong abortion bill and it strikes at the heart of The Left.
Good job Kentucky!
