Lawsuit Challenges Law That Could Close Kentucky’s Only Abortion Clinic

HeadlineSep 07, 2017

In Kentucky, a federal judge heard arguments Wednesday in a suit by Planned Parenthood and a women’s health clinic in Louisville challenging a law that would shutter the state’s last remaining abortion clinic. Lawyers say the state’s requirement that abortion providers have “transfer agreements” with a hospital and an ambulance service is a thinly veiled attempt to cut off abortion access. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar law in Texas.
