LEXINGTON, Ky. — Continuing his dogged pursuit to enforce Kentucky’s abortion ban, Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron late Thursday asked a higher court to overturn a July 22 ruling that prevents his office from enforcing the trigger law.
In a 56-page filing petitioning the Kentucky Court of Appeals for emergency relief, Cameron issued a biting rebuke of Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry for blocking the state’s abortion ban, calling his judgment “egregiously wrong.”
“Less than a month after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, a single circuit judge has created Kentucky’s version of Roe v. Wade,” Cameron wrote of the landmark precedent that codified the right to an abortion for 50 years and the case that nullified it.
