BREAKING: Louisville Metro installs Safety Zone outside of Kentucky's only independent abortion clinic On May 20, 2021 the Louisville Safety Zone coalition celebrated the passage of a buffer zone law after years of work. The 14-11 vote created a common sense and constitutional law which establishes a narrow path for people entering and exiting the healthcare facility while preserving protester's rights to free speech and assembly. After a failed attempt to prevent the zone from going into effect by local sidewalk bullies, the lines were painted today, and public safety advocates are breathing a small sigh of relief while remembering that our work is not finished until abortions are accessible on demand regardless of anyone's zip code, or economic status. Louisville Safety Zone Coalition members are: Kentucky Health Justice Network; EMW Women's Surgical Center; Louisville Clinic Escorts; Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates East; Kentucky Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Primary Sponsor, Councilwoman Cassie Chambers Armstrong (D8) said "These simple lines will make a big impact on people's ability to access healthcare safely. I am thankful to all of those that have helped advocate for a safety zone. It is an honor to stand with you in support of patient dignity and safety." CONTACT: [email protected] Louisville, Kentucky
September 10, 2021 For immediate release - On Sunday 9/12/21 at 4pm, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett will attend an event with Mitch McConnell in downtown Louisville. Locals will meet at 3pm to march along Broadway & 4th street to deliver a clear message for the powerful pair: #BansOffOurBodies #TXDeservesBetter #KeepOurClinics All communities need safe, affordable, and accessible abortions. Denying individuals and families reproductive freedom is an assault on our communities and we refuse to give up this fight.
During a pandemic, we should be fighting to be healthy and safe - not against one another and definitely not against our reproductive choices. It is a reproductive injustice to sideline housing support, food security and accessible medicines during this time to focus on abortion bans! Cancel Rent and provide safe housing to prove you're prolife! Support reproductive justice now!
Advocates for reproductive rights across the country are fiercely vigilant and skeptical, wondering whether Justice Barrett's judicial legacy will promote the rule of law or pay back political deals struck behind closed doors in a court that is also increasingly working in the shadows.
Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates is deeply concerned that similar legislation will be introduced in the Kentucky General Assembly. The lengths that the Texas legislature has gone is unprecedented, dangerous and overwhelmingly harms Black and Latinx people, people with low incomes, and people in rural areas, who already face immense barriers to health care access. This is not the future we want for Kentucky.
Justice Barrett needs to hear Kentuckians saying, loud and clear, that the new Texas law is WRONG -- wrong for Texans, wrong for Kentuckians and women around the country. The Supreme Court needs to pull their heads out of the sand and protect our right to control our own reproductive lives.
Contact: [email protected] Regarding the breaking news that the Louisville Metro Police Department won’t pursue action against a uniformed, armed police officer who protested outside an abortion clinic, Dr. Ernest Marshall and Marshall, owners of EMW Women’s Surgical Center, and the advocacy group Kentucky Health Justice Network released the following statements.
Statement from Dr. Ernest Marshall and Ona Marshall, owners of the EMW Surgical Center: “Disregard for current laws -- including noise, harassment, assault, and trespassing codes -- has contributed to a dangerous environment on the streets surrounding the EMW clinic. The Metro Council and the people of Louisville have spoken by passing a Safety Zone to protect access to the EMW clinic. It’s time for LMPD to take the public safety risks on the sidewalk seriously, follow the law, and do their job to ensure safety, not encourage more harm to Louisville residents and all who come here for care. Everyone deserves equitable enforcement of the law and not holding this officer accountable for breaches of policy does not instill public confidence in LMPD for any citizen or situation in the Louisville community.” Statement from the Kentucky Health Justice Network: “Kentucky Health Justice Network is frustrated and disappointed that LMPD has chosen to endorse participation in anti-abortion activities by an armed, uniformed LMPD officer, who parked an official LMPD vehicle in the front of the clinic. The LMPD’s failure to hold this officer accountable defies its claims that ‘for a cop, there’s no such thing as off-duty.’ Instead of upholding their oath to serve and protect they have chosen to allow more harm, contributing to ongoing obstruction, harassment, and assaults on our sidewalks. If sworn officers of the law will not enforce public safety policies, who will? This is a question we have been asking ourselves for some time now. The Department of Justice, currently investigating the LMPD for misconduct, will ask the same question. It’s time that the LMPD be true partners in creating safer roads, sidewalks, and communities in Louisville. When the zone is established, LMPD needs to recognize and follow the law.” For media contact [email protected] The KHJN Support Fund Coordinator supports our Practical Support & Abortion Funding direct service program.

TO APPLY: Submit a one-page cover letter and resume to [email protected] with “SF Coordinator” in the subject line. The passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a devastating loss to everyone dedicated to human and reproductive rights. It's easy to create many scenarios in our minds on how her passing could be the end of Roe v. Wade but the truth is, we could have lost that with her still alive because if abortion isn't accessible, legal doesn't mean much if you can't get to the clinic.
As long as our metaphorical doors are open we are dedicated to continuing to make abortion access, truly accessible, to making sure our trans friends and family members are uplifted and supported and that folks seeking any form of reproductive healthcare are able to access that care. This weekend we grieved, today we fight. In solidarity, Kentucky Health Justice Network |
