A Kentucky woman is suing the commonwealth over its abortion ban so she can terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in the state

A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene on her behalf and allow her to get an abortion.

    that the 14th amendment does not protect abortion

    This is completely irrelevant. The 9th Amendment says a right does not need to be explicitly mentioned in the Constitution to be protected, nor are other rights lesser to those that are explicit.

    SCOTUS has been spitting on the Constitution for a long time.
