Bill > HB711

This bill proposes several key changes to Kentucky's abortion laws: 1. It defines new terms like "lethal fetal anomaly" and expands the medical circumstances under which an abortion can be performed, including cases where the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest and the abortion occurs within 6 weeks of the woman's last menstrual period. 2. It allows abortions to be performed in publicly-owned hospitals under certain circumstances, such as to preserve the life of the mother, remove a dead fetus, or due to a lethal fetal anomaly. 3. It adds rape and incest to the reporting requirements for abortions. 4. It makes various other amendments to existing laws related to informed consent, ultrasound requirements, and restrictions on abortion after fetal viability, among other provisions. Overall, the bill aims to expand access to abortion in certain cases while maintaining some existing restrictions, particularly regarding the timing and medical necessity of the procedure.
