Kentucky Lawmakers Approve 15-Week Abortion Ban as Arizona Governor Signs Similar Measure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kentucky's Republican-controlled Legislature has approved a bill banning
abortion after just 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Kentucky bill is similar
to Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban, which is under review by the
Supreme Court. Democratic Governor Andy Beshear hasn't said whether
he'll sign the legislation, though Republicans say they have enough
votes to override a veto. Also on Wednesday, Arizona's Republican
Governor Doug Ducey signed a similar ban on abortions after 15 weeks.
