Abortion providers asked the Kentucky Supreme Court Tuesday to vacate the Kentucky Court of Appeals order that blocked a temporary ban on the state’s 2019 “trigger law” to restrict abortion access.
The providers told the state’s highest court in an 11-page filing that the appellate court order “has upended 50 years of the status quo by halting abortion access in the Commonwealth.”
They said patients previously scheduled for abortion care are now being turned away, and they will continue to be turned away if the Supreme Court does not vacate the appellate court order.
Every day that abortion is banned results in irreparable harm to Kentuckians who are forced to remain pregnant against their will, at substantial risk to their health, life and well-being, the providers said.
“Many of these Kentuckians will never be able to obtain abortions, and will experience the lifelong consequences of forced pregnancy, forced childbirth and forced childbirth,” the providers said.
“These are harms that can never be undone, and they constitute ‘extraordinary cause’ warranting” vacating the appellate court order.”
The appellate court on Monday granted Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s emergency request to block a temporary ban put into effect by Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry on the “trigger law” that would restrict abortion access.
Cameron claims there is no constitutional right to abortion in Kentucky.
Kentucky’s only two abortion clinics – EMW Women’s Surgical Center and Planned Parenthood, both in Louisville – stopped providing abortions Monday night after the appellate court order was issued.
The appellate court also approved Cameron’s request for a six-week ban on abortions.
The abortion providers pledged to appeal quickly to the Supreme Court, and they did.

I just hope somebody is doing some research on what causes these pregnancies.
These people NEVER quit folks. They are working with state judges and courts to keep abortion legal even after trigger bans were in place.
The potential for federal grants is limitless.
