Kentucky Woman Suing For Abortion Access Discovers That Her Embryo No Longer Has “Any Cardiac Activity”

The Hill reports:

A pregnant woman in Kentucky who filed a lawsuit demanding the right to an abortion discovered her embryo no longer has any cardiac activity, her attorneys said Monday.

Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Planned Parenthood who were representing plaintiff Jane Doe said they couldn’t comment on what impact the development will have on the lawsuit.

The suit, filed last week, is seeking class-action status on behalf of Jane Doe and all Kentuckians who are pregnant or may become pregnant and can’t legally access abortions because of the state’s laws. Kentucky has two overlapping abortion bans, rendering the procedure illegal in almost every circumstance.
