🚨 Kentucky Court of Appeals rejects AG Daniel Cameron's effort to stop abortions in the state
The Courier JournalThe Kentucky Court of Appeals has rejected Attorney General Daniel Cameron's effort to stop abortions in Kentucky just two days after a court order allowed them to resume.
In an order issued Saturday, Judge Glenn Acree denied Cameron's appeal of a temporary restraining order issued Thursday by Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry.
That means abortions may continue for now while a legal challenge to a state law banning almost all abortions in Kentucky continues before Perry.
Cameron had argued that Perry erred in allowing abortions to resume in Kentucky and sought to have the restraining order blocked by the appeals court.
Lawyers for Kentucky's two abortion providers filed a response Friday, arguing procedural rules and case law bar lifting Perry's restraining order.
Cameron said in a brief statement Saturday he was "disappointed" with the decision and will appeal to the state Supreme Court.
But a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, which represents EMW Women's Surgical Center, one of the abortion providers, praised the ruling as correct.
