The case is from a woman calling herself Jane Doe, who is eight weeks pregnant.
She filed suit today in Jefferson County, along with Planned Parenthood and the ACLU of Kentucky.
The suit is over.
Two laws that went into effect in August of 2022.
It asked a judge to block enforcement of Kentucky's trigger law, which made abortion illegal when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade last year.
And Kentucky's six week abortion ban, which bans all abortions in Kentucky after six weeks of pregnancy.
The Conservative Family Foundation put out a statement about the lawsuit.
And here's part of it.
Quote, This new abortion industry lawsuit is as meritless as the previous failed challenge.
Planned Parenthood and the ACLU's suggestion that the Kentucky Constitution somehow secretly contains a hidden right to terminate the life and stop the beating heart of an unborn human being.
Despite Kentucky's clear 150 year pro-life history is absolutely absurd.
End of quote.
