Pregnant Kentucky woman sues over state's near-total abortion ban, citing constitutional rights.

A pregnant woman in Kentucky, identified as Mary Poe, has filed a lawsuit challenging the state's near-total abortion ban. Poe, who is seven weeks pregnant, claims the ban violates her constitutional rights to privacy and self-determination. The lawsuit, seeking class-action status, challenges both the state's trigger law ban and a six-week ban, which became effective following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The case aims to protect the right to abortion for all pregnant Kentuckians facing similar restrictions.
