Kentucky Abolition Bill Filed

Kentucky’s equal protection bill, HB300, was filed on February 14th by Representative Emily Callaway. The following day, Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Kentucky Right to Life both released statements against HB 300 due to the fact it would allow mothers who murder their pre-born children to be criminally charged with homicide and provide our neighbors in the womb equal protection.

On Friday, February 17th, Abolish Abortion KY hosted a rally at the Capitol in Frankfort in support of the bill. Speakers included Brett Baggett from Rescue Those, Wesley Russell, Rusty Thomas, Jerry Dorris, Derin Stidd, and Steven Stanley. Representative Emily Callaway also spoke to the crowd and thanked them for their support for her as well as HB300. The archived livestream is available here. Kentucky Today also covered the rally and their article can be found here. Highlight from the rally can be found here.
