Any late term abortion clinic closing is good news.

No, not 35 late-term clinics (thankfully). The law prohibited abortions after 20 weeks, but it also instituted other regulations for all abortion clinics, late-term or not. The 35 clinics will supposedly close because of the other regulations.

We should start bills in all 50 states prohibiting abortionists from using wire hangers.

The infanticide squad wouldn’t know what to do.

wow, the new standards of care seem minimal for such a serious surgery as removing and killing a viable baby

what pro-death protester could possibly want women going into an abortion mill that didn’t meet minimal medical standards such as the doctor administering the lethal drugs and having admission privileges to nearest hospital?

veterinary clinics have higher standards

They will just do it in secret. You’ll never 100% stop it. Like wanting criminals to get background checks.

300 miles? I live in Texas, and the state is big but not THAT big that there are no hospitals within 300 miles. Big Bend is remote, but is not that far from good hospitals in Alpine, even El Paso. The far west end of the Rio Grande Valley is not that far from McAllen (I know, I go there on business a lot). There are good hospitals and medical clinics of all kinds in Rio Grande City.

I’d like to see them all closed but in fact its just making them meet certain standards I believe. if they close it’s their choosing.

I think you missed my point. The agents of infanticide are very predictable on two reactions:
1. Oppose every restriction no matter how minor on infanticide.
2. Scream that said restrictions will force women into having abortions performed with wire hangers.

My proposal would put them in the dilema of giving up on #1 or pushing to protect #2.

The hospital in Alpine is good for basic needs and easy child delivery. We live there and actually had to go all the way to Odessa for some tests and a higher level of care.

Good. Abortion is barbaric and has done more to hurt women than many folks realize. I am shocked at how some folks can be outraged when a woman is raped and beaten and out of the same mouth, claim that abortions are fine.

Pray for abortion to be done away with. Pray every day. We won't win the battle in one day, but every bit counts.

“I have saved some women’s lives. They are so grateful we’re here for them and nonjudgmental,” Novick said. “I really feel a kinship for this.”

Seriously? This guy supposedly went to medical school and somehow failed to learn that abortion is risky for women's short and long term health? He didn't learn that the damage to the reproductive system causes a higher fail rate of subsequent pregnancies, which also endangers women's health? And this guy wants us to believe that he is capable of even caring about women's health, when he kills babies so easily? Excuse me, but psychopaths have no concern about anyone. If there was profit in it and he could avoid jail, he'd kill those women just as easily as their babies.

300 miles? Wow, that would take all of five or six
hours! It’s not like they had to walk or ride a horse.
People drive that far for a decent pizza.

Go Texas!
