Last minute Kentucky bill would add exceptions to state abortion ban
Fox News
A bill aimed at easing Kentucky’s near-total abortion ban by creating limited exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest has been introduced in the GOP-dominated House.
Kentucky's near-total abortion ban has been in place since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The state's so-called trigger law took effect, banning abortions except when carried out to save the mother’s life or to prevent a disabling injury. It does not include exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
Fleming's proposal would change that by making abortions legal in cases of rape and incest if done no later than six weeks after the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period, according to a statement describing the bill. The measure also would allow an abortion to remove a dead fetus and in cases of a lethal fetal anomaly, meaning the fetus wouldn't survive after birth.
