A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked a restrictive new abortion law in Kentucky, handing a win to abortion providers challenging the measure.
In a 21-page ruling, Louisville-based U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, a Trump appointee, sided with Planned Parenthood's request to block Kentucky officials from enforcing the sweeping new law, which providers say essentially eliminates all abortion services in the state.
It took effect after the state’s GOP-held legislature overrode a veto from the Democratic governor.
