One Abortion Clinic Closes, Five Others Stop Surgical Abortions Due to Pennsylvania Law :Operation Rescue: In the wake of abortion scandals involving accused murderer Kermit Gosnell and unlicensed abortionist Steven Chase Brigham, Pennsylvania has passed a new abortion clinic licensing law that is set to go into effect today. The new law will require abortion clinics to submit to inspections and meet minimum safety standards.
One abortion clinic, Allegheny Women’s Center, voluntary closed on June 15, 2012, rather than comply with the law. Five others will be forced to stop all surgical abortions as of today.
Out of Pennsylvania’s 22 abortion clinics, only one, Hillcrest Women’s Medical Center in Harrisburg, actually met all requirements and received a full license. Thirteen clinics, including all Planned Parenthood abortion facilities in the state, received provisional licenses will continue to supply surgical abortions on a temporary basis for the next 3-6 months. If the clinics do not meet all of the requirements by that time, they will no longer be allowed to do surgical abortions.
Two abortion clinics affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania or the University of Pittsburgh have been placed under hospital regulations. The new law does allow the five clinics that must stop surgical abortions to continue to dispense abortion pills.
Editor: If they stop providing surgical abortions, what will happen to women whose medical abortions fail? Where will they go?
