| Subject: The good: Supreme Court rejects challenge to Kentucky abortion law requiring ultrasounds Mon Dec 09, 2019 6:03 pm | |
| The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case challenging a Kentucky abortion law from 2017 that requires people seeking the procedure to first undergo an ultrasound where a technician is required to provide a detailed description of what they see. The court rejected the case, without comment or dissent, leaving the law in place. A similar law exists in Louisiana where CBS News spent a week on the ground reporting on the state of abortion access. At the Hope Clinic in Shreveport, one of the state's last three abortion providers, the clinic administrator said it was one of the more emotionally taxing regulations they're required to follow, and patients often cover their ears or turn their head away so as not to see. Planned Parenthood said in a statement that the Supreme Court "continued to chip away at abortion rights" by allowing the law to take effect.
