Hundreds gathered at the Capitol Rotunda on Thursday to see the signing of the new abortion bill by Gov. Matt Bevin.

Of course those who attended were on both sides of the issue, showing this fight is far from over.


"So God, we stand in solidarity for the least privileged: the unborn," Father Charles Howell said.

The signing of Bevin's "Informed and Consent" abortion bill started with a five-minute-long prayer, which received a loud applause from supporters of the new legislation.

The bill, signed last week, requires women seeking abortions to have a face-to-face consultation -- in person or by live video chat -- at least 24 hours before an abortion.

The previous bill allowed women to listen to a recorded message about risks and benefits.

"Many have fought for a long, long time to see meaningful prolife legislation come out of this legislature and be signed into law. This is the first of any significance in 12 years,” Bevin said.

"We know that abortion is wrong at its core. It's evil. So we're never going to go away,” Susan Kenney said.

And there are some who don’t agree.

"Planned Parenthood is the most effective abortion reducing, abortion preventing organization that exists," Geoff Young said.

"We are going to celebrate and appreciate the importance of human life and the sanctity of every human life,” Bevin said.

No matter what side of the issue people were on here, they said that this no doubt is a day in history for the state of Kentucky.
