FRANKFORT, Ky. – Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) is alarmed after Gov. Bevin signed House Bill (HB) 454 into law because it threatens the safety of women and punishes doctors for using their best medical judgment.
“When politicians play games with the health and safety of the people they were elected to serve, it’s not just wrong – it’s dangerous,” said Christie Gillespie, President and CEO of PPINK. “Politicians, not doctors, are pushing for these restrictions, which undermine the ability of health care professionals to provide individualized care that’s right for each patient.”
