Kentucky’s Republican-led Legislature has voted to effectively outlaw abortion. On Wednesday, Kentucky’s General Assembly voted to override Democratic Governor Andy Beshear’s veto of a bill that bans distribution of abortion pills by mail and creates onerous requirements for clinics, that reproductive rights groups say will make it impossible to access abortion services in Kentucky. The law has no exceptions for people who become pregnant by rape or incest. Separately, Kentucky Republicans overrode Governor Beshear’s veto of a bill that bans trans girls from girls’ athletics in public schools.
