LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Its survival on the line, Kentucky's last abortion clinic is bracing for a pivotal legal showdown with health regulators and the state's anti-abortion governor that could determine whether Kentucky becomes the first state in the nation without an abortion clinic.

The licensing fight, set to play out in a Louisville federal courtroom starting Wednesday, revolves around a state law requiring that EMW Women's Surgical Center have agreements with a hospital and an ambulance service in the event of medical emergencies involving patients.
 
State regulators defend those conditions as "important safeguards" to protect women's health. The clinic in downtown Louisville counters that the requirements lack any "medical justification" and amount to an unconstitutional barrier to abortion.
 
But the case's significance goes beyond a debate about state law.

1. The people wanting these "regulations" don't give a damn about "womens' health."

All they want is power.
The power to dictate *THEIR* version of what is "moral," meanwhile, they will (and have on many occasions,) get abortions for their mistresses.

2. I say you can only have the same number of gun dealers as places for abortions

sounds very fair to me

you have the right to buy but it does not say it should be easy

3. What is up with Kentucky? Do they have GOPitus?

Why do they keep electing the fucking Pigman McConnell? (not a turtle to me). It is all about control and power over women. Always was, is and will be. I wouldn't live there for a million dollars. I am very ill and broke due to my health bills but would rather be that and live in blue CA than suffer mentally and physically in red Kentucky.
