Less than 24 hours after the Kentucky legislature voted to pass a sweeping anti-abortion bill into law, Planned Parenthood and the ACLU filed documents in federal court seeking to block it.
House Bill 3, which is now law, restricts abortion medication, makes it harder for minors to get abortions and regulates disposal of fetal remains. Lawmakers also recently added language banning abortion at 15 weeks – language that mirrors the Mississippi law before the U.S. Supreme Court which could overturn Roe v. Wade this year.
