She discussed the consequences of abortion restrictions, especially when states don’t have exceptions for rape or incest.
She was also the namesake for Senate Bill 99 , named Hadley’s Law , which was introduced on Jan. 9. The bill sought to add exceptions for rape, incest, fetal anomalies, and serious health complications for the mother to Kentucky’s abortion ban. The bill never received a committee assignment, which means it never even started the process of being debated by lawmakers.
