Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear has pushed his opposition to Kentucky's abortion ban to the forefront of his reelection campaign by linking his Republican challenger to an extreme scenario of the strict law — requiring young victims of rape or incest to carry their pregnancies to term.
Beshear's campaign released a TV ad featuring a prosecutor denouncing the law's lack of exceptions for rape or incest. It attacks GOP nominee Daniel Cameron for supporting the measure, which bans all abortions except when carried out to save a pregnant patient's life or to prevent a disabling injury.
