FRANKFORT .... HAVE
PROPOSED A NEW BILL
.... THAT WOULD MAKE
ABORTION .... ILLEGAL
IN KENTUCKY .... ONCE
DOCTORS FIND A
FETAL HEARTBEAT.
THAT MEANS ....
ABORTION WOULD BE
BANNED .... AT
AROUND 6 WEEKS
GESTATION.
CHRIS: DESK 2
PRO-CHOICE GROUPS
SAY THAT'S
ESSENTIALLY A
COMPLETE BAN ON
ABORTION IN
KENTUCKY...BECAUSE
THEY BELIEVE MOST
WOMEN DON'T EVEN
KNOW THEIR PREGNANT
AT THAT POINT.
AT A NEWS
CONFERENCE THIS
MORNING, PRO-CHOICE
ADVOCATES DEMANDED
LAWMAKERS STOP THIS
BILL.
THEY WANT WOMEN TO
HAVE THE RIGHT TO
CHOOSE WHAT TO DO
WITH THEIR BODY.
ADVOCATES SAY THE
NEW BILL ALSO GOES
AGAINST ROE V. WADE
AND THEY WORRY THIS
IS PART OF A NATIONAL
STRATEGY TO GET THE
SUPREME COURT TO
TAKE UP ABORTION
AGAIN. AND WITH NEW
JUSTICES NOW ON THE
BENCH...THEY WORRY
THE COURT COULD
MAKE ABORTION
ILLEGAL
FEDERALLY...EVEN
THOUGH MANY PEOPLE
WANT THE SERVICE
AVAILABLE.




TAMARRA WIEDER,
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
OF INDIANA AND
KENTUCKY
"SEVEN OUR IN TEN
AMERICANS SUPPORT
ACCESS TO ABORTION.
WE KNOW THAT THESE
SERVICES RESONATE
WITH PEOPLE. THEY
DON'T NECESSARILY
RESONATE WITH
POLITICIANS BUT THEY
INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE
THEY KNOW LIFE IS
NUANCED AND THEY
CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS
FOR OTHER PEOPLE."
THERE WILL ALSO BE A
PRO-LIFE NEWS
CONFERENCE TODAY AT
12:30. STAY WITH LEX
18 FOR UPDATES.
