Sixth Circuit Hands Major Victory To Pro-Life Cause
CINCINNATI (CN) ‐ Reversing a federal judge, a divided Sixth Circuit panel ruled Thursday that a Kentucky law requiring abortion providers to perform an ultrasound and make the fetal heartbeat audible to the patient is constitutional.


The 33-page majority opinion overturns a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge David J. Hale, who granted EMW Women’s Surgical Center’s motion for a permanent injunction to prevent enforcement of the legislation.

Passed in January 2017, House Bill 2, or the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act, requires women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound at least 24 hours before the procedure.

Doctors who perform the ultrasound must also explain the images on the screen and allow the woman to hear the fetal heartbeat.
