Kentucky Voters Reject Amendment 2 in "Repudiation of the Extreme Anti-Choice Agenda"

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : The commonwealth's constitution contains broad rights of privacy and self-determination; a vote in favor of the amendment would have carved out an exception to those rights, barring any court from even considering the constitutionality of abortion, let alone concluding that it is protected.
39% : Known as Amendment 2, the ballot measure would have added language to the Kentucky Constitution to say that nothing in the document could be interpreted to protect a right to abortion.
38% : Although abortion is currently banned in Kentucky, voters' rejection of the amendment means that a lawsuit challenging various statewide restrictions will be able to move forward.
