Kentucky Republican Governor Matt Bevin is threatening to close the state’s only remaining abortion clinic—meaning Kentucky could become the first U.S state without a single abortion clinic. The ACLU has sued Kentucky on behalf of the last remaining clinic, the EMW Women’s Surgical Center in Louisville. Kentucky has been forced to shutter 16 abortion clinics since 1978, amid a slew of increasingly harsh anti-choice legislation. It is now one of seven U.S. states with only a single clinic remaining. The others are North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Wyoming and West Virginia.
