Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron received support from 23 state attorneys general this week in his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to defend a pro-life law.
Fox News reports Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich led the states in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court after the court agreed to hear Cameron’s case in March.
At issue in the case is whether Cameron, a pro-life Republican, may take up the defense of the Kentucky dismemberment abortion ban after pro-abortion Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear refused to do so. A Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals panel previously denied Cameron’s request.
“By a 2-1 vote, a Sixth Circuit panel allowed the unilateral capitulation of a single official to be the final word on whether a fully enacted law would be invalidated (and thus de facto repealed),” the state attorneys general wrote in their brief.
