FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Attorneys for a pregnant woman in Kentucky who filed a lawsuit demanding the right to an abortion say she’s learned her embryo no longer has cardiac activity. Her attorneys didn’t immediately comment on what effect the development would have on the lawsuit filed last week in a state court in Louisville.

The attorneys urged other Kentucky women who are pregnant and seeking an abortion to reach out if they are interested in joining the case.
