Louisville Democrat is throwing a Hail Mary pass in an attempt to get rape, incest and more medical exceptions added to Kentucky's near total ban on abortion.

State Senator David Yates has filed what's called a discharge petition to bring his bill directly to the Senate floor for a vote.

Because Kentuckians deserve to know where your elected official stands on this issue.

You deserve to know where they stand.

Are you tired of the political promises?

And I would maybe do this if this they have an opportunity to make that change.

A Republican lawmaker's bill for abortion exceptions hasn't gained traction either in the legislature this session.

Yates introduced Hadley's law in January.

It's named after the woman who you saw standing behind Yates, who told her own story of rape and incest in an ad for Democratic Governor Andy Beshear.

To date, Senate Bill 99 has not even been assigned to a committee.

It didn't receive a hearing.

If this bill had been given a hearing, I would have been here to testify.

I would have said how I was sexually abused by my stepfather for years and became pregnant at the age of 12.

And I would have described the feeling of being a scared middle schooler, taking a pregnancy test by myself in my bathroom right after school.

Terrified about what it could mean for my future.

Not all abortion advocates have rallied behind this bill.

The Kentucky representative for Planned Parenthood, Tamara Wieder, says narrow abortion exceptions don't move the needle for abortion access.

However, she says Kentucky lawmakers not taking up Hadley's law is, quote, so cowardly, end quote.
