Description

Named plaintiffs-appellees, Kentucky board-certified obstetrician-gynecologists regularly performing abortions, filed on May 20, 1974, the instant purported class action against a named commonwealth attorney and the commonwealth attorney general, challenging the constitutionality of the March 29, 1974, Kentucky abortion statute, Ky. Rev. Stat. 311.710 et seq., 436.023 (1975). A three-judge court having been designated, depositions having been filed, and oral arguments having been heard, the three-judge court on November 19, 1974, sustained, in part, and invalidated, in part, the statute. The court sustained reporting and datakeeping requirements, the limiting of permissible abortions of "viable" fetuses to life- or health-saving abortions, and the ban on experimentation on aborted fetuses. The court, however, invalidated statutory requirements of the physician explaining "reasonably possible physical or mental consequences of the abortion" to a woman seeking a later than first trimester abortion, of written consent for abortion, of the husbands or parents (if the woman is unmarried and less than eighteen years old) consent for a later than first trimester abortion, and of a 24-hour waiting period between such consent and the abortion; the district court also invalidated a statutory ban of the saline method for post-first trimester abortions and the "institutional conscience clause" (providing that no hospital shall be required to, or liable for refusal to, perform abortions). Wolfe v. Schroering, 388 F. Supp. 631 (W.D. Ky. 1974).
