EMW Women's Surgical Center In the Media
EMW Women’s Surgical Center in the Media
EMW has refused to back down in fighting for women’s access to constitutionally PROTECTED, SAFE and DIGNIFIED reproductive health care.
There continues to be tremendous challenges across the country — here in Kentucky, anti-abortion politicians continue to pass unconscionable laws.
EMW Women’s Surgical Center has legally challenged the state of Kentucky on many pieces of legislation that proposed dangerous and restrictive laws trying to limit a woman’s choice to have an abortion.
Kentucky patients do not need to face more restrictions and obstacles when making their own personal and private decisions related to family planning.
Help assist patients with paying for abortion care, or help ensure that abortion services remain legal and accessible for all in the state of Kentucky. Donate to the Kentucky Reproductive Freedom Fund
