FRANKFORT, Ky. – After years of debate, the General Assembly passed and sent to the governor yesterday a bill to make it a crime to kill a woman's fetus or embryo.
“We have a governor downstairs with pen in hand waiting to protect the unborn,” Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, told his fellow senators.
While some abortion opponents applauded passage of the bill, others said that it didn't go as far as earlier measures in saying that human life begins when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.
“I believe life begins at fertilization,” Sen. Katie Stine, R-Fort Thomas, said in an interview.
