Abortions have resumed in Kentucky after a federal judge temporarily blocked a multi-faceted abortion restrictions law and said the state needs to do more to ensure those affected by it can comply.
The two abortion clinics in the state had challenged the law, saying they couldn’t meet the requirements immediately because the state had not established clear guidelines.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, a President Donald Trump appointee, blocked the law in its entirety in an April 21 restraining order, saying she was unable “to specifically determine which individual provisions and subsections are capable of compliance.” She said her order would not prevent the state from making the necessary regulations, the Associated Press reported.
“We are disappointed to see life-saving protections for Kentucky mothers and unborn children blocked again,” Sue Liebel, state policy director for the Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life advocacy group, said April 21. “This law would spare hundreds of babies from the excruciating pain of late abortions and safeguard women’s health from the reckless expansion of abortion drugs by mail.”
The law creates a certification and monitoring system that records in detail all abortions in the state and all doctors who perform abortions.
Noncompliance with its restrictions and reporting requirements for abortion clinics can result in significant fines, felony penalties, and loss of licenses for physicians and facilities, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports. Critics of the reporting requirements said they are impossible to implement without more funding, and effectively end access to abortion in Kentucky.

Western District of Kentucky - Mitchie's bailiwick.
On April 12, 2018, the Senate voted to invoke cloture by a vote of 94–2. Her nomination was then confirmed on the same day by a voice vote.
There's the tell - 94-2, then a voice vote.
Swamp stooge all the way.
Sorry about saying this, but in our industry, medical device, there are all sorts of seminars and webinars about compliance, compliance, compliance.
The engineer the next office does nothing but “compliance”. He does not do CAD. He doesn’t do lab work (as I used to do before “compliance”), he doesn’t do testing. He just does compliance.
Even coming up with a slightly different packaging configuration (look at my user name) we have to comply, comply, comply. Sick of it.
Let us innovate!
And so what if a state does not comply with the Feds. What are they going to do? They are out of money, out of credit, about to go bust anyhow.
I'm sure Andy Beshear's administration will get right on that...
Least shocking news of the day.
Trump sure made a lot of bad picks. The problem is, he hasn’t learned from his mistakes and will have another 4 yrs of bad picks
