M. N. v. A. A., et al.

The questions presented for review are:

1. whether KY. REV. STAT. ANN. § 199.502 violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause because it fails to articulate a clear and convincing evidentiary standard;

2. whether KY. REV. STAT. ANN. § 199.502 violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause because it is vague in both failing to define the term “abandoned” or whether the 90-day abandonment period is consecutive or cumulative;

3. whether the lower courts’ application of a presumption that KY. REV. STAT. ANN. § 199.502 is constitutional conflicts with this Court’s prior decisions; and

4. whether this Court’s precedents regarding the sanctity of parental rights are deeply rooted in American history and tradition such that they continue to exist after Dobbs. This Court’s precedent holds that the rights of biological parents to a relationship with their minor children are among associational rights which the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause fundamentally protects against unwarranted usurpation or disregard. See e.g., Stanley v. Illinois, 405 U.S. 645 (1972);
