In a discouraging development, the Supreme Court has opted not to hear an appeal aimed at overturning Kentucky's anti-abortion ultrasound law.
In challenging the law, the ACLU argued that the “display and describe” ultrasound protocol violates physicians’ first amendment rights. In court documents, EMW lamented the reality of this mandate.
Defenders of the law, like Kentucky’s GOP and anti-abortion groups such as March of Dimes, insist the “display and describe” ultrasound ruling simply exists to help patients make a well-informed decision. But Steve Pitt, general counsel to Gov. Bevin, certainly seemed to indicate an agenda in remarks made to the associated press.
He neglects to address the other faction of women and non-binary people out there. You know, the ones who fully understand what’s in their womb, the implications of terminating it, and have reasons this aging white man couldn’t possibly grasp. Because in case he needs someone to spell out the nuances, he can’t understand because he isn’t even anatomically capable of birthing a baby.
