Kentucky is one of twelve states that only allows abortion when necessary to save the mother’s life. Critics argue that this restriction has endangered women facing life-threatening pregnancy complications. In response, the Kentucky State Legislature recently passed a bill to clarify the legal definition of abortion and outline exceptions for serious medical emergencies. State Representative Nancy Tate (R-Brandenburg), chairwoman of the Pro-Life Caucus and a key figure in the legislation, joins the discussion to explain the bill’s intent and impact.
