Attorneys for Kentucky woman seeking abortion withdraw lawsuit
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Attorneys for a Kentucky woman who filed a lawsuit demanding the right to an abortion have withdrawn the lawsuit after the woman learned her embryo no longer has cardiac activity.
In a court filing Sunday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky told a judge they will “voluntarily dismiss” the lawsuit filed Dec. 8.
Lawyers for the woman pointed to a Kentucky Supreme Court decision earlier this year that said abortion providers cannot sue on behalf of their patients, limiting the legal actions to individuals seeking an abortion. The lawsuit had sought class-action status.
“The court’s decision has forced Kentuckians seeking abortion to bring a lawsuit while in the middle of seeking time-sensitive health care, a daunting feat, and one that should not be necessary to reclaim the fundamental right to control their own bodies,” The ACLU of Kentucky said in a release Monday. The attorneys said they would continue to look for possible plaintiffs.
The case — Jane Doe, et al. v. Daniel Cameron, et al. — was filed on behalf of an anonymous woman who was about eight weeks pregnant. Last week, just a few days after the suit was filed, lawyers sent notice that the embryo no longer had a heartbeat.
The flurry of individual women petitioning a court for permission for an abortion is the latest development since Roe v. Wade was overturned last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Kentucky case was similar to a legal battle taking place in Texas, where Kate Cox, a pregnant woman with a likely fatal condition, launched an unprecedented challenge against one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation.

'No one believed me' | Two Northern Kentucky residents win big on separate Kentucky Lottery tickets
DAYTON, Ky — The wallets of two Northern Kentucky residents just got a lot heavier after the two won separate cash prizes from the Kentucky Lottery last month.
A Dayton man who wishes to remain anonymous was just one number away from winning the $121 million Powerball jackpot in September. His ticket matched the four white ball numbers and the Powerball in the Sept. 9 drawing, winning him $50,000.
The man told Kentucky Lottery officials he bought the “Kentucky Combo,” which consists of five different draw game tickets including the Powerball with numbers selected by the lottery machine, while at work.
He then picked the tickets up at The Cigarette & Beer Outlet in Dayton.
The next day, his girlfriend checked the ticket and told him he had won $50,000. He took home $36,000 after taxes.
“I was one number away from retirement,” he told officials.
The man said he plans to use the money to pay off debt and buy a car.
He wasn’t the only Dayton resident celebrating a big win, though.
A woman who also wishes to remain anonymous won $431,775 on the Precious 7’s Fast Play game. She told lottery officials she regularly plays Fast Play after someone told her they always won on the game.
“I play Precious 7’s, that’s my game,” she told officials. “I just knew I was going to win.”
She won big when she bought her ticket while her husband was getting gas at the Dayton Market on Sept. 20. She told officials she told her husband to get in the car before he was finished pumping gas once she saw her ticket.
“No one believed me,” she told officials. “They all kept saying it was a scam, that it’s a fraud but I knew it was a winner.”
After taxes, she took home a check for $310,878. She said she plans to use the money to pay off bills and help her family.
The Cigarette & Beer Outlet in Dayton will get $500 for selling the man’s winning ticket, while Dayton Market gets $4,317.75 for its ticket.
