Gov. Matt Bevin has ordered the last abortion clinic in Kentucky to stop performing abortions next week: https://t.co/5gbtHi7hKs
— Joe Sonka 😐 (@joesonka) March 29, 2017
Gov. Matt Bevin’s administration is seeking to shut down Kentucky’s only abortion provider, prompting a federal lawsuit by the clinic to block the move it says would have “a devastating impact on women.”
Bevin’s administration has ordered the EMW Women’s Surgical Center in Louisville to stop providing abortions starting Monday, claiming it lacks proper agreements for patient care in the event of a medical emergency.
EMW’s lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Louisville, calls the order “blatantly unconstitutional” and asks a federal judge to bar the Bevin administration from revoking the EMW clinic’s license.
“They’ve made it clear they won’t stop until no woman can get an abortion in Kentucky,” said Donald L. Cox, a lawyer for EMW. “It’s just an attempt to ban abortion in Kentucky.”
The state’s announcement in a March 13 letter that it is revoking the license makes the EMW clinic the latest enforcement target of the administration of Bevin, an anti-abortion Republican who has called himself an “unapologetically pro-life individual.”

He was singing about Nixon, but since Trump is worse, the song is even better. The lyrics (hidden for comment-brevity):
“Presidential Rag”
You said you didn’t know,
that the cats with the bugs were there,
and you never go along with that kind of stuff no where,
but that just isn’t the point man,
that’s the wrong wrong way to go,
if you didn’t know about that one, well then what else don’t you know,
You said that you were lied to,
well that ain’t hard too see,
but you must have been fooled again by your friends across the sea,
and maybe you were fooled again by your people here at home,
because nobody could talk like you,
and know what’s going on,
Nobody elected your family,
and we didn’t elect your friends,
no one voted for your advisors,
and nobody wants amends,
You’re the one we voted for, so you must take the blame,
For handing out authority to men who were insane,
You say its all fixed up now, you’ve got new guys on the line,
but you had better remember this while you still got the time,
Mothers still are weeping for their boys that went to war,
father still are asking what the whole damn thing was for,
and People still are hungry and people still are poor,
And an honest week of work these days don’t feed the kids no more,
Schools are still like prisons,
cuz we don’t learn how to live,
and everybody wants to take, nobody wants to give,
Yes you will be remembered, be remembered very well,
and if I live a long life, all the stories I could tell,
A many who are in in poverty of sickness and of grief,
hell yes,
you will be remembered, be remembered very well,
You said you didn’t know,
that the that the cats with the bugs were there,
You’d never go along with that kind of stuff no where
But that just isn’t the point man,
That’s the wrong ,wrong way to go,
You didn’t know about that one,
well then what else don’t you know.

I’m interested in having conversations, Brooke, that will move racial people of all races forward in this country. I’m interested in having a conversation that will help us to admit the wrongs that were done in this country and how we move forward. I am not interested in trying to convince and change the mind of a bigot. Someone who will openly troll me and say things that are offensive, that he knows are not true.”
