After the 2016 election, Republicans did not delay passing conservative legislation. On January 7, 2017, the Kentucky legislature passed seven bills, most of which either created additional protections for [[pro-life|unborn human beings]] (such as banning murder after 20-weeks of pregnancy) or reduced the hold of [[labor union]]s in the state (such as by passing a [[right to work]] law).<ref>Loftus, Tom; Watkins, Morgan (January 7, 2017).
