On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in EMW Women’s Surgical Center v. Cameron—one of three abortion cases that will determine the future of abortion rights in the U.S.
On “Saturday Night Live,” Megan Thee Stallion made a direct statement to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron about violence toward Black women. Megan Thee Stallion had previously called out Cameron for his “appalling conduct in denying Breonna Taylor and her family justice” and wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling for the protection of Black women.
“If Cameron is allowed to come into the case and get this law back on the books, the impact would be devastating for people in need of abortion care in Kentucky,” said Beck. “It would simply be unavailable starting at 15 weeks of pregnancy, because the procedure that major medical associations have said is the only outpatient procedure available and that patients need and that doctors rely upon would be taken off the table. The impact would be you would be unable to get that care in Kentucky.
“If the law was allowed to go into effect, women would not be able to exercise their constitutional rights in Kentucky and would need to travel out-of-state. The majority of EMW patients are from Kentucky and 15 percent are from out-of-state. If patients could not access care in Kentucky it would increase their travel distance 150 to 250 miles. In addition, it would increase their time off work, transportation costs, child care costs and possibly the cost of the procedure.
