Disappointed Ruling – U.S. District Judge Temporarily Halts Kentucky’s New Pro-Life Law

Apr 22, 2022

By Kentucky Right to Life

We are disappointed in today’s decision by U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings to enjoin House Bill 3, the Humanity In HealthCare Act, in its entirety.  While we are frustrated by the ruling, Kentucky Right to Life is in consultation with counsel, our members and Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron in next steps in appealing yesterday’s temporary injunction. 

“From the beginning, we have acknowledged that House Bill 3 would not end abortion in Kentucky. HB 3 is a multifaceted bill that reflects our continued commitment to Kentucky’s most vulnerable citizens, the unborn child, as well as advocating for justice and safe medical practices for their Mothers”– Addia Wuchner, RN. Executive Director, Kentucky Right to Life.

“We are disappointed that the court chose to temporarily halt enforcement of the entire law.  This law is constitutional, and we look forward to continuing to defend it”–Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.

Representative Nancy Tate, primary sponsor of HB 3, said, “I am disappointed with U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings’ temporary restraining order of HB 3, Humanity In Healthcare. This will allow for chemical abortions to be used by any female, regardless of their age, who has a credit card that will cover the expense.”

Tate added, “Her decision, along with the FDA’s announcement in December of 2021 to allow the abortion inducing kit to be available via mail order without a doctor visit, in essence turns every bathroom in the Commonwealth of Kentucky into an abortion clinic. It is a sad day for the weakest among us – the baby in the womb.”
