About time the Left got a little taste of its own medicine.
I don’t know why they didn’t think of this years ago. The abortion clinics don’t have to go through any kind of inspection, like other hospitals and clinics do. I’m not sure exactly how they get inspected, but, if my memory services, I don’t think they get inspected at all.
This approach would be very hard to oppose, even if you approve of abortion.
Most abortions are dirty cesspitts, rarely cleaned, with septic conditions. They are a terrible danger to young mothers as well as to the babies whom they kill.
And if something goes wrong, it’s not like a hospital, where they can be treated in place. An ambulance has to be called to take them to a real hospital, and the delay may be deadly. Assuming that they even bother to call an ambulance.
And in most states the pro-aborts have agreed never to inspect these abortuaries. If they were subjected even to reasonable medical standards, it would be very costly to bring them up to standard.
But it’s hard to make the “freedom of choice” argument if you ignore the health and welfare of the mothers who go there.
bttt.
Nosus decipio is nonsense, gibberish. Whoever wrote this is illiterate in Latin.
Will not stand up in court, the grandfather clause, would say this is a taking, therefore illegal.
Glad this happened in my beloved Commonwealth.
I think it’s constitutional. So long as the standards are not applied more harshly than they are to any other hospital, then the pro-aborts will have a hard time in court.
The nice part to savor here was the parliamentary ruse that got the bill through. Most good bills go to the VA Senate to die. This one managed to squeak through.
Under the legislation, any physician's office performing five or more first trimester abortions a month would be classified as a hospital, subject to special regulations established by the state Board of Health within the next 280 days.
The regulations will require abortion clinics to retrofit their operations. The retrofit could mean everything from widening hallways to additional employee training, according to the Associated Press. The Dispatch reports that most of the state's abortion clinics will be forced to close because of the "lengthy and costly certification process that most clinics could not afford."
Great idea!
I love that it was done within days of Dr. Bernard Nathanson’s passing .. maybe God’s way of letting us know Dr. Nathanson is still working for the pro-life movement. And I am so very proud of our Virginia legislature.
