40 Kentucky lawmakers sign bill to ban abortion
And you thought South Dakota was bad.
The Associated Press reports that 40 members of the Kentucky House have signed on to a bill that would ban abortion.
More scariness:
Gov. Ernie Fletcher has "always been a strong supporter" of such legislation, said his spokeswoman, Jodi Whitaker.
Great. Lawmakers opposing the bill noted that politics were trumping women’s lives. Rep. Rep. Kathy Stein said, "It's a big election year...This is the biggest ballot we've had in years, and I think that there are many of my colleagues who are willing to jump on the bandwagon and sell out the women of Kentucky."
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Addia Wuchner. Give her a piece of your mind.
