Pregnant Woman Challenges Kentucky's Abortion Ban in Court

A pregnant woman, using the pseudonym Mary Poe, has filed a lawsuit in Kentucky challenging the state's near-total abortion ban, claiming it violates her constitutional rights to privacy and self-determination. The suit, supported by the ACLU, seeks to overturn Kentucky's trigger law and six-week ban, which were enacted following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The lawsuit aims for class-action status to include others affected by the ban, highlighting the burdens faced by those seeking abortions out of state. Kentucky's attorney general and conservative groups oppose the suit, maintaining the state's pro-life stance.
