A pregnant woman in Kentucky who filed a lawsuit over the state’s six-week abortion ban has learned her embryo no longer has a heartbeat, her legal team said Tuesday.

The plaintiff, who is identified as Jane Doe, is eight weeks pregnant, and, according to court documents, “decided that the best course of action for herself and her family is to terminate the pregnancy.”

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, one of the groups representing Doe, filed the lawsuit on Friday, asking for a temporary restraining order that would allow her to get an abortion.
