Kentucky Fights Back Against ACLU Lawsuit to Strike Down Abortion Ban

On Monday morning, the first hearing in the ACLU’s latest legal challenge to Kentucky’s ProLife laws was held in Jefferson County Circuit Court, with Judge Tracey Davis presiding.

This case, filed under the pseudonym “Mary Poe,” is effectively Kentucky’s Roe case. Should Judge Davis allow this case to proceed as a class action case, it is anticipated that the ACLU will quickly file a motion to seek an injunction against Kentucky’s pro-life laws.

Assistant Attorney General Lindsey Keisner, representing Attorney General Russell Coleman’s office, delivered a thorough and compelling argument against the ACLU’s motion. Kentucky Right to Life, along with ProLife advocates from across the state, stood in prayer outside the courthouse for Mary Poe, her baby, and the ultimate victory of life.

Judge Davis did not issue a ruling Monday but scheduled an evidentiary hearing for January 3, 2025. Meanwhile, “Baby Poe,” now eight weeks along, will continue to be protected under Kentucky law. However, Mary Poe has expressed her intention to seek an abortion outside of the state should the court rule in an expeditious manner and provide her the right to terminate the life of her child.
