Pa. role on Gosnell disputed | Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/03/2011: Two top Philadelphia officials told a state Senate committee looking into regulatory failures related to a 'house of horrors' abortion clinic that the state Health Department is responsible for overseeing such clinics and that the city's main role should be to help patients take complaints to the state.
But State Sen. John H. Eichelberger Jr., chairman of the Senate's Local Government Committee, said the city must have some responsibility in regulating abortion clinics, noting that it deals with such issues as prevention of disease, nuisances to public health, building-code violations, and waste pickup. In the case of abortion provider Kermit Gosnell, he said, the city's message to the business was: 'We don't care.'
