Federal judge puts temporary hold on Kentucky’s sweeping abortion law
Washington PostMAR 18 2022
While a win for the state of Kentucky, this is only the first step. More needs to be done to maintain women's rights to basic healthcare as the Mississippi law that attempts to overturn Roe v. Wade makes its way to SCOTUS.
The decision to temporarily block the bill is due to issues enforcing the new regulations rather than the bill's constitutional merit. With several other states also standing up for the rights of the unborn in recent months, there is greater pressure to reverse the precedent of Roe v. Wade.
