Kentucky governor strikes down GOP's attacks on abortion during pandemic

Conservatives in Kentucky couldn't get their act together as they tried to push several new abortion restrictions through the state Legislature.

In Kentucky, Republicans have been working hard to decrease the power of the state's Democratic governor, Andy Beshear.

Notably, they recently tried to take away his power to regulate abortion providers and give it to the state's anti-abortion attorney general, Daniel Cameron.

However, the GOP miscalculated the timing with this effort to restrict abortion by passing the bill too late in the 2020 legislative session to override any veto from Beshear, who quashed the bill when it reached his desk.

It's a rare bit of good news for abortion rights in a state where the procedure is already very difficult to obtain. Indeed, Kentucky already bans abortions past 20 weeks in almost all circumstances.

1. If Moscow Mitch is so concerned about preserving life with new abortion laws

then he should close down the state liquor industry who are nationwide purveyors of alcoholism, DUI's, OUI's, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney cancer caused by alcohol, thousand of drunk driving car wrecks, wife beating deaths, and blindness from bad moonshine batches from local stills.

The saving of alcohol-related deaths would far outweigh Kentucky abortion deaths, unfortunately it would crush the state liquor industry and economy, so death by alcohol takes a back seat to the holy republican dollar.
