The ACLU filed a lawsuit seeking to block the law on behalf of abortion providers, arguing that the law unconstitutionally forced women to "remain pregnant against their will."
The judge agreed to temporarily block enforcement of both the trigger law and a separate Kentucky law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The court will hold a hearing in July to make a ruling on the lawsuit.
