Most Important Bill of 2019 USA Legislative Session

We believe that the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is the most important bill of the 2019 U.S. Legislative Session. We must CLOSE the flood gates on the slippery slope to the practice of infanticide.  But then, what is the difference between aborting a child at 20 and 40 weeks? Practically speaking we are only looking at a bigger baby. “So stop acting shocked.” That is what it seems the Democrats are saying to us. "It’s not a big deal." They have a terrible point, but our work is to overturn Roe v. Wade and until then, to push BACK the number of weeks at which abortion is legal.  Today in Kentucky that number is 20 weeks and that’s two fewer than it was before Gov. Bevin took office. The “Pain Capable” law achieved that milestone. If the “Heartbeat” law that was passed this spring is adjudicated to take effect following current ACLU litigation, that number will drop to 8 weeks or fewer. The Democrats control the U.S. House and have refused to vote 32 TIMES on the bill to stop infanticide and provide medical treatment for babies who survive abortions. National RTL is working hard to find enough members who will sign a discharge petition so that the bill can be voted on, but at this time, it does not look promising.

Update on well-being of KRLA member and sidewalk counselor Donna Durning after attack at EMW clinic.

ULTRASOUND LAW APPEAL SUCCEEDS! On April 4 we learned that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the constitutionality of the Kentucky law requiring a doctor to show the patient her ultrasound prior to the abortion! Gov. Bevin’s office called it “a major pro-life legal victory” and said it was a historic day. Judge John K. Bush practiced in Louisville, Ky., before appointment to the Appeals Court. Read more.

Transfer Agreement litigation gets a boot In our previous e-letter we reported about an Amicus brief that was supported by 16 states to assist the Bevin Administration in its appeal to overturn the ruling on Transfer Agreements. Read more. Since then a new Amicus brief has been filed by AG Beshear in support of those suing our state! Please read more about this in a blog series on the KRLA website.

Help spread the GOOD WORDS: Abortion Pill Reversal Thanks to Senate Bill 50 sponsored by Sen. Robbie Mills and seven other Republicans, physicians are required to report to Vital Statistics each prescription for the Abortion Pill, and they must advise the patient that the effects of the pill can be reversed. It’s up to all of us to spread the word. A registry of pro-life Ob/Gyn doctors in our state is currently being updated on the Kentucky DoctorsForLife website.

If a woman desires to reverse her abortion, time is of the essence. The fastest way to help is to give her the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline, 877-558-0333 .
