The ACLU filed a lawsuit to overturn Kentucky’s legal protections for the unborn. As it is, unborn human life is protected by Kentucky law, with the only abortion exception to save the life of the mother. The ACLU claims that Kentucky’s abortion ban violates a woman’s right to privacy. But is the taking of another human life a right? And does it matter if its done in private? The ACLU thinks so. What about the right of the child to live? The ACLU argues that abortion should be allowed for any reason, including the rationale of “emotional burden” placed on expecting mothers. But is “emotional burden” a good reason to kill another living human being? That’s a question the Kentucky courts will soon answer.
