'Kentucky is now a forced-birth state,' said RepJayapal. 'We must codify the right to abortion in Congress. Pregnant people deserve to make their own healthcare decisions.'
Reproductive rights advocates and healthcare professionals, meanwhile, are determined to continue ensuring access to and providing abortion.
"Make no mistake—this ban goes beyond abortion. It is about who has power over you, who has the authority to make decisions for you, and who can control how your future is going to be," Gibron added."But it is my promise to the people of Kentucky that Planned Parenthood will never back down. We will always be here for you."
"It is devastating and cruel. But the fight is not over," she stressed."We will explore all options to ensure that people across the state can access abortion services. This is not a game. These are people's lives."
