A Louisville judge has blocked enforcement of Kentucky’s trigger law banning nearly all abortions, permitting licensed providers to continue offering the procedure until at least next week.
“It is ordered that Plaintiffs have established their right to entry of a restraining order against, and therefore the motion is granted,” Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry wrote in his Thursday ruling.
The restraining order also halts a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy from being enforced, a 2019 law that was previously blocked in federal court.
