No oversight for Delaware abortion clinics

The owner of Atlantic Women's Medical Center in Delaware — who employed the West Philadelphia abortion doctor facing murder charges for killing infants who were delivered alive — also owns an abortion clinic in Louisiana that in 2009 was cited for a list of health and safety violations. Abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, who has been charged with murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies, practiced at the Women's Medical Society in West Philadelphia. 

A 261-page Philadelphia grand jury report on Dr. Kermit Gosnell portrayed his Women's Medical Society clinic as unsanitary and unprofessional, with blood-stained furniture, substandard equipment and untrained staff. Yet Delaware regulators cannot say if Atlantic Women's Medical Center — where Gosnell worked one day a week for a number of years — suffers from similar health and safety deficiencies because abortion providers are not subject to the kind of routine sanitary and safety inspections that restaurants, beauty salons and tattoo parlors get.
