Demonstrators' chants echoed through Kentucky's Capitol on Wednesday as Republican lawmakers started pushing aside the Democratic governor's veto of a bill putting new restrictions on abortion — including banning the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
About two dozen abortion-rights supporters chanted “hands off our bodies” at the bottom of the stairs leading to the House chamber as the lawmakers debated the abortion measure. Both sides of the debate mentioned the demonstrators, whose voices could be heard by lawmakers as the emotional debate continued.
