Attorneys for a woman who had challenged Kentucky's near-total ban on abortion have dropped the lawsuit. The attorneys filed a motion Friday seeking to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit but did not give a reason why. The lawsuit had been filed last year in state court in Louisville on behalf of a woman who was about seven weeks pregnant at the time.
