What Kentucky law says and doesn’t say about what to do after pregnancy loss
LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER
The Herald-Leader asked the same question of Bradley Pierce, the president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, a group that lobbies for abortion to be treated like a homicide. Pierce said women who experience a miscarriage or still birth typically seek medical care, which would “ensure they cannot be accused of wrongfully concealing the birth of an infant.”
In addition to his work with the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, Pierce is a lawyer, and he wrote wrote House Bill 714, introduced in the legislature in February. If enacted, the bill would expand Kentucky’s homicide statute to include the death of an unborn child.
