Judge extends temporary ban on 2 new Kentucky abortion laws

LOUISVILLE (AP) — A federal judge has extended a temporary order preventing two new Kentucky abortion laws from taking effect while the court determines their constitutionality.

The Courier Journal reports U.S. District Judge David Hale extended the order Wednesday.

The American Civil Liberties Union is challenging the laws, and Gov. Matt Bevin’s administration is defending them.
