As of Monday morning, more than 400 health care providers from 20 Kentucky counties had signed an open letter urging voters to reject a constitutional amendment that could bolster abortion restrictions in the state.
Amendment 2, which is on Kentuckians’ ballots in Tuesday’s general election, would add language the state’s foundational document stating “To protect human life, nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.”
