This bill would change Kentucky's abortion laws to allow abortions in additional circumstances beyond what is currently permitted. Specifically, it would allow abortions when a fetus has a lethal fetal anomaly, under certain other medical circumstances, or when a pregnancy results from rape or incest up to six weeks from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. It also sets rules for when abortions could be performed in publicly owned hospitals and adds rape or incest as a reporting requirement. Who it may affect: pregnant women, rape and incest survivors, healthcare providers, and hospitals in Kentucky.
