FRANKFORT - Kentucky's Democratic governor has vetoed abortion legislation pushed by Republican lawmakers.
The bill would have given the state's Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron authority to regulate abortion clinics and the power to suspend abortions as an elective procedure during the coronavirus outbreak.
Another part of the vetoed measure would have required doctors to provide life-sustaining care for an infant born alive after a failed abortion attempt.
The measure cleared the legislature in the waning hours of this years legislative session. As a result, lawmakers wont have an opportunity to override Governor Andy Beshears veto.
In a statement on Twitter, House Speaker David Osborne said he was "outraged and saddened" by the veto. "Make no mistake, the governor had a choice and he used it to defend the indefensible, Osborne said. The Born Alive Act simply requires physicians and other health caregivers to provide life-saving medical care to infants who survive an abortion. This is about protecting a human life outside of the womb.
When asked about the veto by a reporter at his Friday press conference Friday afternoon, Beshear said he was just not doing divisive issues right now.

Elections have consequences!
Hey Kentucky
You all should be real proud of this piece of SHIT you elected to represent your sorry asses.
Murder born babies?
What the hell is wrong with you?????
You can the voters in KY who voted for him. This is what happens when Evil is voted into a position of power.
Obviously he was going to veto it. He’s a baby-killing Democrat. But the GOP has a super-majority in the legislature there. So why did they wait to pass it until it would be too late for an over-ride?
He waited until the session expired to veto so they couldn’t override it.
Inbreeding.
True colors
For Democrats in 2020 you have to be evil and want to kill babies
Anybody who would veto a bill like this is a child-killer, an absolute slob. What could be wrong in a man’s mind that he would do this? Who voted for this man?
Buy weapons and ammo, folks. Leftists live to murderhumans. They love murdering babies and if they could get away with it, they would murder you too.

If there were a reporter worth anything, he or she would ask the governor if he is willing to stand in a room and watch a baby die slowly of exposure and without even human touch to comfort him. That is what the governor is allowing to continue.
No country that permits this will survive
Nor should it
