Predictably, the abortion lobby was furious about the passing of this bill:

While the abortion industry consistently fights each time a state proposes a ban, the reality is, Americans support banning late-term abortion. Americans have overwhelmingly supported banning second trimester abortion over the years, and even “pro-choice” Americans support banning abortion after the first trimester.

In addition to public support for 20-week abortion bans, legislators who vote in favor of them are also on the side of science. We know now that preborn babies can feel pain by 20 weeks, although it may be much sooner. And that makes second trimester abortions — such as a dilation and evacuation procedure, outlined here by former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino — even more horrific:

Late-term abortions are cruel and are never necessary. These Kentucky lawmakers should be applauded for protecting the lives of preborn babies, as well as their mothers, from having to undergo such a violent, barbaric act.
