Louisville, Ky. --A Kentucky judge temporarily blocked the state's almost total ban on abortion on Thursday, paving the way for the judge to resume there. The state of Florida said it would prevent a 15-week abortion ban from coming into effect in that state.
The Kentucky ruling suspends the state's so-called trigger law. It was designed to come into effect after the State Supreme Court has decided to end the protection of abortion under the Federal Constitution. The case reflects the battles that took place in courts across the country after the Supreme Court left the state to decide whether abortion was legal within the border.
In Florida, Judge John C. Cooper said 15 weeks after a court opposition by a reproductive health care provider that the state constitution guarantees the right to the procedure. He said it would temporarily block the entry into force of the miscarriage ban. .. Cooper said the Florida ban was "unconstitutional in that it violated the privacy provisions of the Florida Constitution."
Some state conflicts include a ban on books that have not been enforced for generations. Some, like Kentucky, include a trigger method specifically designed to take effect when a low falls. Some have been put on hold until Roe's ruling, with an ongoing ban on abortion.
The surge in court activity caused confusion in the state, disrupting patients and clinics.
The Arizona Attorney General said Wednesday that the Governor disagreed and that a new law banning abortion would take precedence 15 weeks later, but the full book was in place before the state. He said he could enforce an abortion ban. .. The state's suspension provider immediately suspended the procedure for fear of prosecution.
In Louisiana, the lawyer warned doctors to perform an abortion, even while the ban was temporarily blocked.
In Kentucky, Thursday's ruling allowed resumption of abortion after a sudden termination last week. Heather Gatnarek, a lawyer for the American Citizens' Freedom Union in Kentucky, said nearly 200 women were recently handed over from the EMW Women's Surgical Center, one of the two Louisville abortion clinics.
A planned parent-child relationship with ACLU issued a joint statement that they were pleased that the "cruel ban on abortion" had been thwarted, and since last week's ruling, "many Kentucky citizens have been them. Homeland in search of essential care that was forced to carry pregnancy against their will or to escape their will. Despite this victory, we are still at the end of this battle. I know I haven't. "
Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who is running for governor, said Thursday's ruling was unfounded in the state constitution and intends to challenge it. Said.
"We will do everything possible to keep this law and ensure that the life of the fetus is protected in the Commonwealth," he said in a statement. rice field.
The ruling was filed this week on behalf of the Abortion Clinic, stating that women were "forced to continue their pregnancy against their will" in violation of the state's constitution. Was done. They asked the judges to temporarily block the Trigger Act, along with another Kentucky Act that attempted to prevent abortion at 6 weeks of gestation.
Judge Mitch Perry of the Jefferson County Circuit also agreed to temporarily block the six-week ban. The measure was previously suspended by federal court.
Kentucky triggers include narrow exceptions that allow doctors to take the necessary steps to prevent the death or permanent injury of a pregnant woman. Abortion in the case of rape or incest is not allowed.
The request to continue abortion services in Kentucky may turn into a temporary effort through intervention by state courts. Kentucky citizens vote for a voting initiative in November, proving that the state's constitutional right to abortion does not exist if approved. Both sides of the abortion debate are busy organizing prior to the election.
