Regardless of legality, the patient’s life was deliberately put at risk to try and ensure that the incident wasn’t a matter of public record. They should be sued on the patient’s behalf, the employee(s) at the center of it should be criminally charged, and the facility premanently closed down. That, however, would require a revamping of current law to allow a common sense resolution to the whole matter. PP’s ambulance chasers whould have this dragged through five different courts simultaneously, filing appeals, delays, counter-suing, and the outcome would be a slap on the wrist ten years from now, if that. The only way to end this cat-and-mouse game is to wait until the Notorious RBG is in a pine box (which could be at any given moment, IMO), get another solid conservative on the SCOTUS, and reverse most or all of Roe v. Wade in big letters. I know there’s a lot to be said for change coming from the grass roots-up, but in this case, it’ll have to be a nuclear blast from the top-down to get anything done.
I heard on a radio program that Planned Parenthood will order multiple tests on a lady who wants an abortion (e.g.: blood tests, scans etc.) to create the illusion that they provide more services then just aborting babies. The 1/2 dozen or so tests are NOT tied directly to the termination of the baby.
Truely evil people.
