Planned Parenthood is performing illegal abortions in Louisville, Kentucky. The facility does not have a license to perform abortions but it is performing both medical and surgical abortions. The facility opened allegedly in December of 2015, but the date abortions became available is open to question but they have been performed since January 21st at the minimum.
Gov. Bill Bevins commented on the revelation:
“I’ve always been a very strongly unapologetic pro-life individual. To that end, that has not changed. What I tell you is interesting, and this is just breaking news even today, is that Planned Parenthood is illegally performing abortions in Kentucky.”
“It’s that brazen disregard for the law that is going to be hammered down. There is no tolerance whatsoever for people in the Commonwealth of Kentucky disregarding the law. They are unlicensed. They are doing it knowingly, and they are going to brought to justice on this front.”
Maureen Manier, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky said:
Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky applied for an abortion facility license and commenced services under the guidance of the Office of the Inspector General, the state office that is responsible for licensing health facilities.
Funny thing about licenses. You are not just required to apply for it, you are supposed to prove you are qualified first. But if it works I may just have to apply for my gynecologist license.
