Andy Beshear vetoed a sweeping abortion bill Friday that would have banned most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, restricted access to medication abortion and made it more difficult for a minor to obtain an abortion in the state. House Bill 3 places a number of restrictions on drugs used in a medication abortion , such as mifepristone. Last month, the GOP-led Senate voted 29-0 to pass the legislation and amended the bill to include a 15-week ban. Doug Ducey signed into law a ban on most abortions in the state after 15 weeks, similar to the Mississippi law currently before the US Supreme Court, and South Dakota's Republican Gov. Kristi Noem signed a bill that will further restrict access to medication abortions in the state.
