Consider Jury Nullification - Here's an extra way to fight abortion bans, nullify it in jury boxes [View all]
Republicans pushed an unexpected update to Kentucky’s abortion ban through the state legislature this week, passing it in less than 24 hours.
The Kentucky General Assembly voted Thursday to update the state’s strict restrictions on abortion in a way that supporters say will help reassure health care institutions and providers they can legally end a patient’s pregnancy when they’re diagnosed with certain life-threatening conditions.
The proposal cleared the legislature the day after it was introduced, and it wasn’t just regular Kentuckians who had little chance to learn about the bill before lawmakers approved it. Democratic legislators said they, too, didn’t get enough time to review it and talk to lawyers and other experts about how the bill’s changes to the abortion ban could impact women.
During Thursday’s debate, Rep. Adrielle Camuel of Lexington asked why Democratic representatives weren’t invited to offer input on the bill and said “the voices of those that we represent were silenced in this critical discussion.”
