Kentucky Republican state Rep. Joe Fischer has caused a stir when he rightly stated that “the most brutal form of domestic violence is the violence against unborn children." Consequently, he has proposed amendments to bill, HB8, which would disallow abortions when a baby in the womb is 20 weeks or older. If the bill is passed, abortions performed during that period would be considered domestic violence.
“This is a solidly pro-life state, even if you don’t see it reflected in what happens here in the House,” Fischer said. “But elections ultimately will decide the issue.”
Under current Kentucky law, abortions aren't allowed after 22 weeks.
