Voters approved a ballot measure this month that enshrines abortion rights in the state constitution.

Amendment allows lawmakers to restrict or ban it after fetal viability.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey says his office will continue enforcing a ban on abortion after viability.

Amendment does not specifically override any state laws, leaving bans in place.
