Senate Panel Passes Abortion Bill
KENTUCKY....
This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill that would require a woman seeking an abortion to review the results of an ultrasound with a doctor and would penalize doctors who fail to give a woman an ultrasound before performing an abortion. Senate Bill 38, filed by Sen. Elizabeth Tori, R-Elizabethtown, has passed the full Senate for the past two years but died in the Democrat-controlled House. Those who oppose the measure say it adds a barrier for women seeking an abortion, but those who support it say it gives women much-needed information before making a critical health decision.
