A request by Kentucky Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron to enforce Kentucky’s trigger law banning nearly all abortions has been temporarily granted.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals late Monday night approved Cameron’s request for emergency relief, which he filed Friday. The attorney general, who’s running for governor, asked the court to reinstate his ability to enforce the state’s trigger law, which bans all abortions except in cases of where risk of death or substantial risk of death of the pregnant person is a factor, as well as a six-week ban on abortions.
Cameron’s plea, which the court granted, was to overturn a July 22 injunction from a Jefferson Circuit judge that blocked enforcement of Kentucky’s abortion ban, keeping abortion legal in the commonwealth.
