Abortion Bill

An abortion bill also made it through both chambers and was sent to the governor's desk today.

House bill two...allows the attorney general to enforce abortion laws..

The senate passed it 30-5.

Governor beshear veto-ed similiar legislation last year.

Those in favor say it would help provide more oversight.

"tamarra wieder: it's just deeply troubling that this is their priority during a pandemic for the first week of session "rep.

Joseph fischer: this bill will give him the opportunity to protect and defend these otherwise defenseless children."

The bill also changes abortion to an elective procedure instead of an emergency procedure...if you remember governor beshear deemed abortions could continue during the pandemic..labeling
