Bevin administration files lawsuit to close abortion clinic in Lexington
Lexington has an unlicensed abortion clinic that should be closed until it receives a license from the state, the administration of Gov. Matt Bevin claims in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Fayette Circuit Court.
The 10-page lawsuit filed by Bevin’s general counsel, Steve Pitt, and Jennifer Wolsing, an attorney for the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services, says Eubanks & Marshall of Lexington, PSC, doing business as EMW Women’s Clinic, is operating an unlicensed abortion clinic at 161 Burt Road, off Nicholasville Road.
A recent inspection of the clinic — its first since 2006 — uncovered that it exists solely to perform abortions, disqualifying it for the licensure exemption provided to private physicians’ offices, the lawsuit says.
“It is an abortion facility, and as such, the law requires that it be licensed,” the lawsuit claims.
