Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to revive a state statute that banned a “gruesome” abortion procedure known as dilation and evacuation, which is typically used after the 11th week of pregnancy.

The petition seeking judicial review in the case known as Cameron v. EMW Women’s Surgical Center was filed with the Supreme Court on Oct. 30.
