A Kentucky judge has issued a ruling that continues to keep the state's near-total ban on abortion from taking effect.
President Joe Biden gave remarks and signed an executive order aimed at protecting abortion access nationwide on July 8, 2022, two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.A Kentucky judge granted an injunction on Friday that prevents the state's near-total ban on abortions from taking effect, meaning the state's two clinics can continue providing abortions, for now.
The injunction issued in Louisville allows the state's only two clinics to continue providing abortions while the case is litigated. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a Republican running for governor, is likely to take the case next to the state appeals court. Cameron has said Perry's order has no basis in the state constitution.
Perry held a hearing on July 6 to listen to arguments on the injunction. A doctor who performs abortions at one of the clinics cited statistics she said showed that pregnancy can be more dangerous to the health of a mother than abortion.
