Kentucky Supreme Court Rules Abortion Ban Can Keep Saving Babies

The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that the state’s abortion ban can keep saving babies from abortions.

State officials are fighting in court against a pro-abortion lawsuit to keep the ban in place. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron urged the state Supreme Court to allow the state to enforce pro-life laws that are protecting thousands of unborn babies from abortion.

Today, the state’s highest court ruled that the abortion ban can keep saving babies while the lawsuit continues — a key victory for unborn children now and a possible indicator that the state court will eventually uphold the law. The justices wrote that a lower court was wrong to halt enforcement of the ban.

In her opinion, Justice Debra Lambert said that Louisville Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry was wrong to halt enforcement of the bans last July and the appeals court was correct to reinstate the bans in August. She did, however, leave the door open to hearing a future challenge on whether “the right to abortion exists by implication under the Kentucky Constitution.”

Justice Lambert ruled Thursday that the clinics don’t have standing to challenge the laws on behalf of their patients, but do have standing to argue that the state’ s abortion bans violate protections in the state’s constitution…. (Excerpt from LIFENEWS.COM)
