MOD EDIT "The city of Toledo is finally abortion free as the state of Ohio has closed down the second of two abortion facilities that have closed up shop this year. Today, Ohio Right to Life obtained documents issued by the Ohio Department of Health relating to a Toledo area abortion clinic violating state regulations. Capital Care Network of Toledo was provided notice by state health officials of its noncompliance, which according to state law, will result in the abortion provider closing in order to protect pregnant womens health. Ohio Right to Lifes legislative initiatives are successfully protecting womens health and saving lives as evidenced with this upcoming closure, said Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life. Holding abortion clinics to high standards to protect the safety of pregnant women is a health initiative all Ohioans can agree upon. According to Ohio law, Capital Care exists as an Ambulatory Surgical Facility and because of this status, the clinic is not a full-service medical facility. In order for Capital Care Network of Toledo to operate legally, the clinic has to have a transfer agreement with a full-service hospital to handle all cases of abortion complications against the mother. Capital Care is the third abortion clinic to be closed in Ohio since January due to either health and safety violations or illegal operations. The abortion clinics that have been closed were exposed for operating under unsanitary, unsafe and illegal circumstances. No longer will abortion providers get a free pass and put profits ahead of protecting womens health, said Gonidakis.

This will make the third closing of an abortion clinic in Ohio this year after state inspections found problems at the abortion centers. The other Toledo abortion facility closed amid scandal. The abortion facility had been operating since 1983. Although abortion advocates frequently cite womens health as the reason for supporting abortion, Ohio state officials exposed a cover-up involving Center for Choice of Toledo, a local abortion center. According to Ohio Department of Health documents, this abortion clinic operated without a transfer agreement resulting in a recommended closure and a $25,000 fine. The transfer agreement is needed so abortion practitioners can quickly admit a woman who was injured in a botched abortion, so a local hospital or medical center could provide her with emergency medical treatment. This is yet another case of the abortion industry disregarding womens health and well-being. Center for Choice lied to the Department of Health in order to cover-up the fact that they were breaking Ohio law, said President of Ohio Right to Life Mike Gonidakis at the time. The abortion industry strives to paint a rosy picture of womens healthcare, but the reality is that the abortion industry acts with callous disregard for women and of course their unborn babies. According to Ohio law, Center for Choice of Toledo exists as an Ambulatory Surgical Facility and because of this legal status, the clinic is not a full-service medical facility. In order for Center for Choice of Toledo to operate legally, the clinic has to have a transfer agreement with a full-service hospital to handle all cases of abortion complications against the mother. The clinic has not had a legal transfer agreement since 2010, according to Ohio Department of Health documents, Gonidakis said. Its a crime that Center for Choice has performed illegal abortions for the last two years, jeopardizing women for the sake of profit, but we take hope in the fact that they will cease taking innocent human life, he told LifeNews." http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/08/...buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer This is wonderful news and shows what the work of state RIGHT TO LIFE...offices can do. I also work for a powerful one as we have shut down several in the past few years. Sure abortion will never go away...but it will become harder and harder for women to find a facility close enough to go to. This clinic knew what it had to do to remain open and it did not. They don't want to protect women....just kill their children to make a profit.
I do not think people forcing their religious beliefs on others by making laws based on those religious beliefs is a reason to cheer.
Closing abortion facilities, which administer the procedure in a safe and sterile environment, doesn't reduce the abortion rate, but instead forces women to go to other cities for their abortions or to the "back alley." A real shame pro-"lifers" aren't focused in stopping the root cause for abortion.
So will any RICH or even MIDDLE CLASS women who live in Toledo....not be able to get an abortion, Churchmouse?
Yippeee....hoorah......cheers for Ohio. The clinic was operating illegally was it not? Shouldn't things be shut down if this happens? Or should everything be shut down except abortion mills..cause they kill babies?
Then let them go elsewhere...it just might not be possible...as many women can't afford to go elsewhere. This is a victory for now..you can spin it anyway you wish....yippee Ohio. - - - Updated - - - Ronstar...will you donate the funds to get them all there? LMAO Yes NewYork loves to kill babies don't they?
I will personally offer to drive women from Ohio to New York so they can get an abortion. - - - Updated - - - just like how Conservatives love to kill Muslims.
We can rent a bus or several. We'll call it the "Underground Busline" or "Harriet Tubman Freedom Busline".
Religious laws make all kinds of things illegal but this does not make it right. It is against the law to convert from Islam to Christianity in some countries. It is against both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution to make laws based on religion. Many these days do not like the Constitution and this is your right so cheer away !
Shyster laws that Shyster people can cheer about. you know if any other minority group used these underhand tactics to achieve their aim you would call them terrorists. It's a shame you can't be honest about the REAL reasons.
What always gets me is that these pious religion-addled bozos are driving women to butchers in back alleys, and they KNOW it, and they stand there and say they're doing it to "protect womens' health." I guess if you can believe in magic invisible sky daddies, you can believe ANY BS at all. The big picture is also kind of sad. In practice, it's only the poor people who must have unwanted children - the people who can't afford them and aren't prepared to raise them. And the same anti-abortion people are the ones most against helping them out with any sort of safety net program. I wonder when their god wanted the poor to start suffering more.
TRAP laws... http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/08/09/2443631/last-abortion-clinic-toledo-close-kasich-budget/
Exactly....I wonder if CM will demand some future "Dredda Scott" be extradited back to the "Pro-life" State of her origin to stand trial for 'murder', for havinig an abortion in a Free State. Or start to try to get the "Pro-Life" States to secede from the Union? - - - Updated - - - No RICH or even MIDDLE CLASS woman in Ohio...will be stopped from getting an abortion. So one wonders....what exactly is cheering for? None of the rich or middle class 'babies' are being saved in Ohio....none at all.
This shows the classless position of abortion. Namecalling....now Ohio is an evil state...LMAO What a joke. You have no way of proving what you claim. For all you know those woman could give birth to babies. How sad that notion would be for you...sad that a child might be spared. As I said....your position is devoid of goodness.
And these immoral bozos whose positions align with that of Hitlers....that is your position. The fact that you would condone abortion throughout nine months...unbelievable. How immoral is that? And you call those who simply want to respect and save life...Bozo's?
Hitler's position was anti-choice, like yours. Rape by transvaginal ultrasound is respect? Forcing women to use their bodies against their will is respect? Even when you know the most desperate women will resort to dangerous life-threatening procedures? That's a strange way to show respect for life.
lots of pro-lifers are not religious. I know this from personal experience. Besides, there's even a website that's called godless pro lifers. - - - Updated - - - One believes that banning abortions reduces the amount of abortions that occur.
Allowing women to slice up innocent children in the womb, by tearing their little limbs apart, is respect? That's a strange way to show respect for life.
Yes, so so so true. They think that doing that is just....NOTHING. And most of them think this slicing and dicing should be able to happen in the ninth month. Imagine that....WATCH THEM RUN IF YOU CALL THEM OUT ON THIS HOWEVER. LMAO
BAnning abortion will reduce abortion, it certainly will. If it doesn't WHY ARE YOU PRO-ABORTS SO UPSET WHEN STATES TRY TO BAN IT...CONTROL HOW MUCH HAPPENS? If laws like Ohios...don't deter or reduce abortion........THEN WHY ALL THE BASHERS HERE? The fact is you know darn well it will stop women from getting abortions and having access to them. Why are you upset over this Ohio ruling if it does not matter? - - - Updated - - - I certainly will hold up the Bible as the only truth...your straight about that. Interpretation is basically pretty easy...you hide behind this one.
The pro-choice crowd wants one of these on every street corner...like Starbucks. "You make 'em, we take 'em." Morty's Pawn shop, Liquor store & abortion clinic emporium...a free six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon for repeat customers. Celebrate that abortion with the purchase of slighltly used jewelry. We accept EBT cards. Y'all come back now...ya here! Women"s health indeed....
Speaking of your desired future, CM. You guys ban abortion on a state basis, we'll help set up an "Underground Railroad" for women to seek freedom in the Pro-Choice States. And the cool thing is...we can bring them back home to Mississippi or Texas or Georgia a few days later....and people like YOU....won't even know the difference. Will you? You call women who have abortions "evil" and "murderers"....yet you expect them to NOT get an abortion, when they can easily take a trip to another state and EASILY obtain one? You have a strange definition of "evil" that you think a law can stop it. "What do you stand for, Danny? Goodness...or badness?"
