KY's Pro-Life Governor Pledges to Defend New Law Banning Abortion of Babies with Beating Hearts, after Judge Blocks Its Enactment"People that are supposedly defending the civic rights of people in this country nonetheless think it's appropriate that you can kill a child based on its race, or kill a child based on its gender," he said. "The people of Kentucky again, fortunately, don't agree with that and, so this law was passed through the legislature. It has not actually become a law at this point, but that didn't stop the folks at the ACLU from filing a lawsuit against something that doesn't actually yet exist.

The same day Bevin signed the law, Judge David J.

Bevin has yet to sign the latter bill, and Hale did not rule on it. ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project deputy director Brigitte Amiri called the injunction a "tremendous relief," noting Saturday that EMW Women's Surgical Center, the state's only licensed abortion facility, "sees patients today, and before we got the ruling yesterday, they were in the process of canceling appointments." "This case or others like it from other states will result in major changes in abortions in the US in the near future," Bevin's general counsel Steve Pitt responded. "The ACLU, Planned Parenthood and others favoring unlimited abortions know this and are in a panic"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Continue reading here.
