Abortion and LGBT policy hang in the balance with today’s elections for the governorships of Kentucky and Mississippi, with the election for the next governor of Louisiana following soon afterward.

Bevin has accused Beshear of accepting “blood money” from Louisville abortion center owner Ernest Marshall and of failing to defend pro-life laws in court.
