\nA Lexington abortion clinic will reopen next week after a local judge denied the state’s request for a cease-and-desist order.<\/p>\n
Fayette Circuit Judge Ernesto Scorsone ruled Friday in addition to evidence the clinic was operating legally, closing it would go against the public interest.<\/p>\n
The administration of Republican Governor Matt Bevin sued the clinic earlier this month, arguing it is an abortion facility that must be licensed under Kentucky law.<\/p>\n
Attorneys for the EMW clinic say it is a physician’s office that performs abortions and not subject to the licensure requirement. The clinic stopped performing abortions March 9, pending the judge’s ruling.<\/p>\n
Bevin spokeswoman Jessica Ditto said the administration will appeal the ruling as soon as possible.
