Kentucky Supreme Court denies AG's request to reinstate abortion ban
Sunday, Attorney General Daniel Cameron asked the state Supreme Court to reinstate the ban after an appellate court denied his appeal on Saturday.
Last week, Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry granted a temporary restraining order to block the law. Attorneys for the two abortion clinics in Kentucky argued the state's constitution protects the right to an abortion. In defending the state law, Cameron’s legal team said no such constitutional right exists. Perry heard arguments from both sides in a Louisville courtroom before issuing his order.
