Abc 36's amber freemen is live in the studio to explain in tonight's top story at 6.

The kentucky house has just passed a bill that would legalize medical marijuana in kentucky.

65 representatives voted yes...30 voted no.

The bill's sponsor republican representative jason nemes told us a few weeks ago he is confident the bill will pass..

Once it made it to the floor some people have expressed concerns there hasn't been enough research yet on marijuana's effects...but polls show about 88- percent of kentuckians support it and it's already legal in 33 states.

Some are also worried this might open the door to legalizing recreational marijuana... something nemes has said he is not after..

As he doesn't support it recreationally.

We talked with representative nemes a few weeks ago about how he thought the bill would do.

"i think the chances are good the votes are there.

The number of votes that we'll have in support of medical marijuana in the house is close to 70."

We will keep following this discussion for you and update you on abc 36 news at 11.

In studio, i'm amber freeman, for abc 36 news.

Two babies die every hour in the u-s..

And about every 12 hours a woman dies as a result of complications from pregnancy.

A mom whose premature twin girls died says she shares her story to support other mothers.

"they passed away in our arms and it was really totally unexpected.

We really didn't know a whole lot about preterm labor or the indications for that so that's when it really started for us our involvement with march of dimes."

March of dimes hopes to raise $200,000 for the walk.

Up next... we'll give you the details on the anti-abortion bill that is getting some traction in the state legislature... c1 3 it further along in the state's legislative process than it's ever gone before.

The bill would amend the state constitution.to effectively ban abortion in kentucky if the roe v.

Wade supreme court decision is ever overturned.

Before the vote, people had the chance to give testimonies... but as abc 36's alexus larson reports... that opportunity was cut short.

- hasn't been shot yet and can be changed.

To say it simply, house bill 67 doesn't support abortions..

And members of the aclu..

Are saying politicians shouldn't be making personal decisions for people."

"medical decisions should be made by the pregnant person, their family, their doctor, not politicians."

It's a standard that people can testify in committee whether they support the bill or not.

In this case, only 2 people with the aclu testified... when five people were expected to talk.... but the chair said there wasn't enough time to hear everyone.

Representative - says it was a disgrace that people were cut short of sharing their opinions "i'm really disheartened by the way this committee was run."

When it came down to a vote, 11 representatives were in favor and seven opposed it.

The bill.by fort thomas republican representative joe fischer.has been proposed at least four times in more than two decades.according to the legislative research commission.

This is the first time it's ever made it out of committee.

"there are still many many questions about what are the consequences of this piece of legislation."

"i think the children in the womb have an individual liberty and a right and so i'm proud to protect human life."

Next, the bill will be heard on the house floor.

Less than a year ago..

Former henry clay standout langston jackson was breaking state records on the track.

And signing to run at kentucky in his freshman year at u-k..

The sprinter is undefeated in 200 meter run..

And ranks among the best collegiate sprinters in the country.

Abc 36's austin miller somehow caught up with the star freshman..

As the cats get set for the conference championships next week.

At uk..

It's typically the basketball team that has the star freshman on campus.

That might not be the case this year..

Thanks to what former henry clay stand-out langston jackson is doing on the track.

Jackson is among the best in the nation in the 200 meter run and 60 yard dash.

In fact..

His 200 time he posted last week is two tenths of a second faster than what he ran last year.

It also ranks as the second fastest time in the country this season.

Workouts have certainly helped improve jackson's time..

But the freshman says a lot of credit improve jackson's time..

But the freshman says a lot of credit goes to sprinters coach tim hall and his scientific method for optimal track speed.

Jackson's dream is to compete in the 2024 olympics.

But if he can get his times down a little more..

There is chance we see him at the us qualifiers later this summer.

In lexington..
