Three Jewish women challenged Kentucky's near-total abortion ban on the grounds that it infringed on their religious beliefs that life begins at birth, not conception.In Kentucky, abortions are banned in almost all circumstances except in cases when a pregnant women's life is in imminent danger of death or permanent injury.who argued that the state's near-total abortion ban violated the religious freedoms of those who believe life begins at birth, not conception.
Sobel and Kalb are both mothers who conceived using IVF. Kalb had nine embryos in storage, but did not plan to have nine more children. Meanwhile, Baron, who was 37 at the time of the lawsuit filing, said the state's ban discouraged her from attempting to have more children and risk pregnancy complications.
Judge Edwards said in the decision that the three women's"alleged injuries ... are hypothetical as none are currently pregnant or undergoing IVF at the present time.""Our nation is waiting for a judiciary brave enough to do what the law requires. Our clients demand that we continue the fight and we look forward to review by higher courts," Aaron Kemper and Ben Potash wrote in a statement.
“Most importantly, the Court eliminates any notion that access to IVF services in our Commonwealth is at risk. Today’s opinion is a welcome reassurance to the many Kentuckians seeking to become parents," Coleman wrote in a statement.
