Legislation Proposes Barring Abortion

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Republican state Representative Stan Lee said Wednesday he intends to push for the legislation that would specifically preclude insurance plans made available to Kentuckians under federal health care reforms from paying for abortions. Responding to concerns earlier this year, the Kentucky Department of Insurance posted a notice on its website saying coverage for "elective abortions" won't be offered. That notice said doing so would be a violation of state law and has never been considered.
