\nAbortion-rights supporters have filed a lawsuit aimed at blocking a new Kentucky law that requires women get an ultrasound prior to having an abortion.<\/p>\n

The suit signals pro-choice groups’ attempts to fight back against new Republican dominance in the state, where the GOP just claimed control of the state House for the first time in nearly a century and immediately passed laws to restrict access to abortions.<\/p>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union said Monday the law that requires abortion providers show and describe ultrasound images violates privacy and First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

The ultrasound legislation was one of several put on a fast-track last week by the Republican majority in the legislature.<\/p>\n

Republican Governor Matt Bevin, who signed the ultrasound bill, calls it “sound legislation” and predicts it will hold up in court.
