LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- LMPD will begin enforcing an ordinance at EMW Women's Clinic, which provides a 'buffer zone' for people entering and exiting the facility.
LMPD says anyone who blocks the buffer zone or sidewalk outside the abortion clinic during business hours could lead to a citation and fine.
Anyone who violates it will get a written warning for their first violation. LMPD can be made aware of the violation from video or camera footage for a written warning to be issue.
After the first warning, LMPD says an officer must personally witness the second violation to give out a citation.
Anyone convicted of violating the ordinance can be fined up to $500.
