Pregnant Woman's Lawsuit Reveals Nonviable Embryo in Kentucky Abortion Case

TL;DR Summary
A pregnant woman in Kentucky, who is suing over the state's two abortion near-total bans, has learned that her embryo no longer has a heartbeat. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, filed the lawsuit to protect her privacy and is seeking class-action status to include other Kentucky residents who are pregnant and seeking abortions. The lawsuit challenges Kentucky's "trigger law" and a separate six-week ban on abortion. The case comes as Texas deals with a similar situation, where a woman left the state to have an abortion after a legal battle.
