.MaddowBlog: Trump-backed judge protects radical ultrasound law.
Two years ago, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and his state’s Republican-led legislature approved a radical anti-abortion law. Under the measure, doctors who perform abortions are legally obligated to perform medically unnecessary ultrasound procedures and describe the on-screen images to women, in detail, before terminating an unwanted pregnancy.
As the Courier-Journal in Louisville reported yesterday, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals came to the opposite conclusion. Bush, in his opinion, rejected the opponents’ argument that forcing the physician to perform an ultrasound that may not be necessary and describe in detail the results to the patient is a violation of free speech rights.
But in this case, it’s worth pausing to note not only the offensive court ruling, but also its author.
