The Human Life Protection Act prohibits all abortions except when the mother's life is at risk. The Heartbeat Law prohibits abortion at six weeks gestation. Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry issued the temporary injunction against the laws on July 22. Now that the injunction has been lifted, Kentucky can enforce them.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who is running for Governor of Kentucky, Tweeted this response to the court's action: “Today the Court of Appeals granted our motion to have the Kentucky Human Life Protection Act and the Heartbeat Law reinstated in the Commonwealth. I appreciate the court’s decision to allow Kentucky’s pro-life laws to take effect while we continue to vigorously defend the constitutionality of these important protections for women and unborn children across the Commonwealth.”
