In a setback for Kentucky’s Republican governor Matt Bevin and a huge victory for pro-choice rights, a federal judge has struck down a law written with the express goal of making it impossible for abortion clinics to operate in the state.
The ruling late Friday means that the one remaining health center providing abortion care in the state, EMW Women’s Surgical Center, can remain open.
Planned Parenthood said the ruling will also allow it expand abortion and reproductive health services for Kentuckians. The head of Planned Parenthood Indiana and Kentucky, Christie Gillespie said in the wake of the decision, her organization “looks forward to expanding abortion access soon.”
