ACLU files complaint against Kentucky's latest potential abortion ban

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed an official complaint against Kentucky's latest potential abortion ban. House Bill 5 is awaiting Governor Matt Bevin's signature.

The bill bans abortion based on the sex, race or disability of the fetus.

Kentucky has seen this battle before. In fact, Thursday's court filing is the latest in a series of litigation efforts between the ACLU and the Commonwealth, fighting over abortion.

"They've been absolutely relentless in their attack's on abortion and access, and we have been just as relentless in our commitment to protecting access in the state," said Amber Duke, Communications Director for ACLU of Kentucky. "They all come from the same anti-abortion playbook and they're really just using the language of anti-discrimination, the language of human rights to dress-up what is simply an abortion ban."
