"We'll fight with everything we have to keep it. No one — no matter where they live — should be forced to remain pregnant against their will."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An appellate court has denied an appeal by Kentucky's attorney general to reinstate the state's abortion ban.
A lawsuit filed Monday on behalf of the state's two abortion clinics — the EMW Women's Surgical Center and Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisville — asked a judge to issue a temporary restraining order to block a state law banning most abortions that took effect after the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last week to overturn Roe. V. Wade.
Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry granted the temporary restraining order on Thursday to block the law.
In a statement late Thursday afternoon, Attorney General Daniel Cameron said he had asked the Kentucky Court of Appeals to stay Perry's decision.
"Every day that goes by that the Human Life Protection Act and Heartbeat Law are prevented from taking effect, more unborn lives will be lost," Cameron said at the time. "These laws represent Kentucky’s values and its support for life. We’re moving quickly to defend this important law and to have it restored."
Cameron's appeal was denied on Saturday, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kentucky, meaning abortion remains legal in the state.
"This is a great victory for now," the ACLU said in a statement posted to Twitter on Saturday. "We'll fight with everything we have to keep it. No one — no matter where they live — should be forced to remain pregnant against their will."

Bizarre
What could the rationale for a TRO possibly be?
The law violates Roe v. Wade?
Uh, that’s gone. There is no federal or state “right” to an abortion anymore.
So what’s the justification?
The judge is writing fiction.
Make Mitch Perry king or better yet grant him divine power and let him run the whole state.
Murderous white women really do demand the right to make a sacrifice of their children to Moloch.
There’s a story in the Dallas Morning News that states that demand for long-term contraceptives has sharply increased in Texas since the termination of RvW. Imagine that. When you can no longer easily kill a life, you take steps to not create it in the first place? Huh. Combine this with lefty harridans vowing to practice abstinence and it’s looking like what pro-lifers hoped would happen is happening.
The baby murdering is strong with these people...
Appellate court: “Killing negro babies is too important to be stopped by some silly law.”
I thought SCOTUS returned this issue back to the people in the states... not another set of judges.
KY AG Cameron is useless, no he’s less than useless. He’s Mitch’s little B!tch
Oh just go away.
They did. But a judge that is too big for his britches is claiming to be the one to have the law making power.
I'm not up to speed with Kentucky state government. So the following question may not apply to Kentucky.
The question is, are possibly desperate Democratic Kentucky judges taking advantage of their job security by legislating from the bench the "right" to murder unborn children to protect possible RINO lawmakers so that lawmakers don't have to let their masks fall off by supporting abortion in election year?
Corrections, insights welcome.
Speaking of election year, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are also reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
Doesn’t this go directly against the Supremes ruling.
That was the whole point, to have legislatures make laws not courts.
Nah, they aren’t devious, just stupid
And drunk on their power
State courts have no standing in this.
If the SCOTUS has ruled, and the legislatures have acted to
deny abortions in the state, these courts are acting against
the law.
The judges should be put up for judicial review, if there
is the possibility.
“Because the Supreme Court said abortion is not protected by the U.S. Constitution, abortion rights advocates are challenging the ban by arguing it violates the Kentucky constitution covering the right to privacy and bodily autonomy.”
Firstly, I’m not sure how making abortion illegal violates a privacy law (please explain it to me if you know the argument), and secondly, what about the unborn’s autonomy? When scientists find their first single-celled organism on another planet, they’ll be celebrating that they’ve found life; and yet a two-week old fetus isn’t life. A double standard for the record books.
I would like to read the judge’s decision, but I didn’t see it linked. While this is a TRO, if this is a law that was passed through both houses of Congress and signed by the governor, then I don’t see how it can be permanently halted.
perhaps an argument based on the state constitution.
For each baby aborted after this TRO a single charge of murder should be made against Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry in his impeachment trail.
If the AG is really interested in saving babies then he should immediately file charges against this devil judge.
TRIAL.
