<\/div>

Five\u00a0states have only one abortion facility left \u2014 Kentucky, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, and West Virginia, according to an updated\u00a0report by Operation Rescue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kentucky’s final abortion mill, EMW Women’s Center, is currently at the center of a legal showdown that could leave the Bluegrass State completely abortion-free, should a court decide in favor of the state’s right to regulate abortion facilities.\u00a0The Louisville facility\u00a0lost its lease in January,<\/a>\u00a0and last year\u00a0had been found<\/a>\u00a0committing unlicensed\u00a0abortions.\u00a0The case, which could make Kentucky the first state without an abortion facility, could also be appealed all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

At the start of the year<\/a>, six states had a single remaining facility; however, the Kansas City, Missouri, Planned Parenthood added medical abortions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kentucky, where abortion facilities and providers are known for their “shoddy<\/a>” level of care, is home to EMW Women’s Surgical Center, a facility which has had expired medication and was described as “filthy.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Mississippi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jackson Women’s Health Organization in Mississippi has been saluted by abortion activists, who seem to like its pink color<\/a>, but with a number of health violations, the facility is\u00a0not exactly known for patient safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

North Dakota\/South Dakota<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Abortion Docs, Lori L. Thorndike is listed<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0working at the Planned Parenthood Sioux Falls Clinic and the Red River Women’s Clinic, and the site notes\u00a0that she “[p]erformed abortions in North Dakota for several months without a valid medical license.” Nicola Louise Moore, also of the Sioux Falls Clinic, is highlighted by Abortion Docs<\/a>\u00a0for how she is known as the “fly-in abortionista<\/a>”\u00a0and was believed to have been\u00a0present during\u00a0a botched abortion<\/a> at the facility in 2011.<\/p>\n

West Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abortionist Rodney Lee Stephens of Women’s Health Center in West Virginia\u00a0was sued<\/a> for performing a forced abortion with anesthesia on Itai Gravely, and then leaving the baby’s head inside of her. Operation Rescue also highlighted<\/a> that patients were admitted weekly to the hospital in West Virginia from botched abortions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
