LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refuses to issue same-sex marriage licenses due to her religious convictions, appealed a judge's ruling that sent her to jail.
As Davis entered her fifth day in jail Sunday, the Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit working on her behalf, asked the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals to expedite the appeal and set the contempt order aside, allowing her freedom.
