Supreme Court takes up dispute over Kentucky abortion law

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to referee a legal fight over who has the right to defend a restrictive Kentucky abortion law in court.

Passed in 2018, the law — which has been blocked by the courts — would ban a surgical procedure commonly used after the 15th week of pregnancy. Immediately after it was signed by then-Gov. Matt Bevin, Republican, a Louisville women's surgical center challenged it in court.
