This is to follow up on my post on criminal abortions in Florida. Alabama is now contemplating new regulations, in light of recent inspections. Here are some findings:
Anti-abortion groups have been especially dogged in their demands for reform in the months since a state health department investigation uncovered several violations at the Summit Medical Center in Birmingham, including abortions being performed without a doctor's presence.
I've seen reports of this frequently enough that I can tell you, it's not that unusual.
In one case, health officials reported that a woman delivered a stillborn baby at an emergency room in February after a Summit nurse gave her the RU 486 abortion drug even though her blood pressure was too high and the baby was nearly full-term.
RU-486 for a full term baby? Is the nurse stupid? And what in the world is the mom doing aborting an almost full-term baby. How is that legal???
The department suspended Summit's operations on May 17 and the clinic became permanently closed when it surrendered its license on June 14.
I hope so!
Where is the outcry from feminists about these quacks?
You won't find any.
