By Eric Matthews —

UofL’s Students for Reproductive Freedom are gearing up for a fight in response to a pair of anti-abortion laws passed in Frankfort last week.

The state legislature passed two anti-abortion laws on Jan. 9, and a third is still in committee. HB2 requires abortion providers to perform an ultrasound prior to the procedure and display or describe the images to the patient, along with audio of the fetal heartbeat. SB5 prohibits abortions at or past the twentieth week of pregnancy.
