NYC’s tanning salons inspected more regularly than abortion clinics

The state Health Department is failing to inspect many of New York’s abortion clinics — with some facilities escaping scrutiny for more than a decade, bombshell documents obtained by The Post reveal.

Health inspectors regulate 25 diagnostic and treatment clinics and surgery centers that provide abortion services — though pro-choice advocates say there are 225 abortion service providers in New York state.

Eight of the 25 clinics were never inspected over the 2000-12 span, five were inspected just once, and eight were inspected only twice or three times — meaning once every four or six years.

A total of just 45 inspections were conducted at all 25 facilities during the 12-year period.

By comparison, city eateries are inspected every year and graded, while a new law requires tanning salons to undergo inspections at least once every other year.

Meanwhile, state officials — citing prior threats and violence against abortion providers — refused to identify the names and locations of the clinics it did inspect.

No inspections mean that abortion clinics may not satisfy fire codes or emergency codes. If you have an upstairs abortion clinic which does not have an elevator large enough to hold a stretcher, then that is a real problem. Are there clearly marked emergency exits? Is there a wheelchair anywhere on the premises?

Bad stuff can happen in a tanning booth.

But worse stuff happens in abortion clinics.

Those clinics have a fatality rate of about 50%.

Tanning booths may give you skin cancer if they are not properly adjusted and used. An abortion provider just kills as many black children as fast as it can - a much less serious matter than skin cancer.

If tanning salons start donating tens - or hundreds - of millions of dollars every year to the Democrat campaign treasury, they will be left alone just like abortion clinics are.

Quite telling what their priorities are.

It is “good” to know that NYC, under its commie mayor has its health inspection criteria in total alliance with political correctness and leftist ideology
