Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear responded to today's ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned Roe v Wade. 

In a statement posted to his official Facebook page, Beshear expressed his disapproval of the decision. 

"Today’s decision triggers an extremist Kentucky law that creates a total ban in Kentucky that will eliminate all options for victims of rape or incest. As the former chief prosecutor of Kentucky, I know that these violent crimes happen, and not having options for victims of rape and incest is wrong."
