Should abortion clinics be regulated like a surgical clinic?
I was watching a scroll across the TV screen today that said Louisiana was requiring abortion clinics to operate under the same law that applies to other medical facilities that do surgical procedures and to require that doctors in these clinics have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.
Planned Parenthood and some other abortion clinics are trying to stop this by appealing to the Supreme Court.
This seems very hypocritical of Planned Parenthood, since they are the ones that fought for legal and SAFE contraception and abortion. They claimed that millions of women were dying in "back alley" abortions. They claim that they are all about women's health and that abortion only is a small part of their operation.
Planned Parenthood should be completely on board with this legislation. Don't they want to stop the dying?
So, when a state wants to make abortions safer and ensure that the facilities and doctors providing abortions are properly licensed, trained, and can get a women to a hospital if something goes wrong, they protest. All of a sudden Planned Parenthood wants to go to court complaining that if they have to comply it will cause them to close down almost all of their clinics.
If it's all about women's health and not about abortion they could still operate their clinics providing as they claim, women's health services. It's not about women's health, but more about money to them. They could care less about women's health. There are plenty of non-abortion/non-Planned Parenthood affiliated clinics operating all over the country and doing just fine.
Would you go to an Oral Surgeon that wasn't licensed and had admitting privileges at a hospital just in case something went wrong? Even veterinarians have licensing standards!
Here is an article that I found that shows the truth on this subject. I think if you read it you may learn something new.:
