Last Abortion Biz in Kentucky Will be Demolished
A former abortion business will be demolished now that the state where it is located protects babies from abortions.
The EMW Women’s Surgical Center, Louisville’s last abortion center, is currently being demolished.
Established in 1981, the abortion company has killed thousands of babies – until the Dobbs decision from the Supreme Court reversed Roe and allowed states like Kentucky to protect unborn babies.

In early 2017, it became the sole abortion business in the state after its Lexington satellite clinic closed due to stringent licensing regulations to protect women. Despite efforts by state officials to shut it down, the Louisville clinic continued to kill babies until the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and led to the enforcement of Kentucky’s near-total abortion ban.
The demolition of the clinic’s building marks a significant moment in Kentucky’s fight to protect women and children. With the closure of EMW Women’s Surgical Center and the cessation of services at Planned Parenthood Louisville following the 2022 abortion ban, the state no longer has any centers that kill babies – but hundreds that protect them and care for women.
In 2022, the number of abortions in Kentucky fell almost 43%, according to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ Office of Vital Statistics report. The number has likely fallen further.
In 2021 there were 4,441 abortions performed in Kentucky. In 2022, that number shrank to 2,250—meaning 1,891 babies were saved. “All but three of the 2,550 were provided before August, when both bans were fully in place,” the Lexington Herald Leader reported. This welcomed trend has continued in 2023:
From January to July, reported abortions in Kentucky dropped by almost 100% compared with 2021, according to state data. Thirteen abortions were reported to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services between January and July of 2023, compared to 2,591 reported in 2021 during the same time frame — a reduction of 99.5%.
