After coming under attack by Kentucky’s governor, the Planned Parenthood facility on 7th Street says it will “refrain from performing any abortion procedures” until a survey of the facility has been conducted by the governor’s Office.
The response came Friday after the Office of the Inspector General gave Planned Parenthood a letter on Thursday to stop performing abortions immediately or be fined $1,000 a day.
In the letter, the Inspector General claims their application did not specify the facility’s address and which hospital they have an agreement with to bring a patient in case of complications. They also claim the person who signed the paperwork doesn’t state a title.
According to Kentucky’s Cabinet for Health and Family Service, Planned Parenthood does have a license to operate as Special Health Clinic until July 31, 2016. But the Cabinet does not have that Planned Parenthood location listed as an abortion clinic.
Planned Parenthood said Thursday it filed for the application under the guidance of the Office of the Inspector General.
