LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky Court of Appeals judge has denied a motion by Attorney General Daniel Cameron in a lawsuit over the state’s abortion laws, a move that will allow abortions to continue for now.
On Thursday, a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge issued a restraining order that temporarily blocks the state’s “trigger law” banning abortion from taking effect. That allowed abortions to resume while the case moves through the court system.
In response, Cameron went to the appeals court, seeking to block the restraining order. In a ruling Saturday, appeals court Judge Glenn Acree denied his request.
