Abortions are still happening in Kentucky despite ban. Republicans are to blame.
Republicans didn’t pass the one bill that would actually abolish abortion. But what did they do about abortion this session? They made it worse.

The 2025 legislative session is over, and Republicans missed another opportunity to end abortion legally. If you’re thinking, “Wait, isn’t abortion already banned?” — you’re likely not alone. After Roe v. Wade was overturned and Kentucky’s trigger law took effect, news reported abortion was “banned” in the commonwealth. That’s misleading.
