Well, I’ll believe it when I see it...

There’s the “big” one sitting right up the Gulf Freeway right next to the University of Houston on the south side of town that needs to go...

Get rid of that facility, and I’ll believe the effort here was not wasted...

Hagstrom Miller's company had five abortion facilities and one ambulatory surgical center in Texas in 2013. Two closed as a result of the admitting-privilege requirement in March, and it's likely that only the surgical center in San Antonio will remain by September. "The opposition has been extremely strategic," Hagstrom Miller said. "This law is perfectly crafted."

After 40+ years it's about time.

-— , all but six are expected to close. Most of the closed clinics will never reopen, their operators say -—

Great news! Thank God.

I”m especially impressed by the fact that they couldn’t find contractors to work on their facilities.

And here I thought that Abortion Barbie was going to save the day.

Democrats thought abortion was the one magic issue women would rally around. Too bad women turned out to be far more complex than the single issue voters the rats had hoped they would be.

“’I can’t find anyone to deliver water or resurface the parking lot, because they’re against abortion. I can’t get someone to fix a leak in the roof,’ said Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Women’s Health.”

Well, Amy — since you’re in the business of butchering babies, this is a good thing.

I’ve always heard that the pro-babykillers wanted abortions to be “safe”. Why would they get all upset because of a law making sure abortion clinics are as clean as any other medical center? That’s because Democrats, Leftists, etc. WANT and LOVE dead babies....especially dead black and hispanic babies.

"I can't find anyone to deliver water or resurface the parking lot, because they're against abortion. I can't get someone to fix a leak in the roof," said Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Women's Health.

Awesome. And later in the article, we see that she misrepresents herself in order to get building permits, because no one wants to issue them for abortuaries. Increasing the stigma of abortion to the point where no one wants to enable any facet of the business seems to be very effective.

The clinic closures will increase as the law phases in a set of requirements for abortion facilities. The first set, which included a requirement that doctors performing the procedure have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles, went into effect last November, prompting many clinics to close. The final set of restrictions—that all abortions, including drug-induced, be performed in ambulatory surgical centers—takes effect in September.

Abortionists and their sycophants always claim that abortion is a health matter. Yet, when it comes to actually protecting the health of women seeking their services, they are dead set against it. Pro-abortion women, doesn't that tell you something about how abortionists *really* feel about you?

"If the state is passing regulations that are similar or equivalent to those that all other medical facilities provide, and some [clinics] close because they're not meeting standards that other medical facilities have to meet, I don't see a problem with that," said Dan McConchie, vice president for government affairs at Americans United for Life, an advocacy group that worked on parts of the Texas legislation.

He is using the wrong language. Abortuaries are *not* medical clinics; he should not be using terminology ("other medical facilities") that implies that they have a medical function.

The six remaining abortion clinics come September will be clustered in major cities, which opponents of the law argue unfairly disadvantages women in rural areas—particularly the Rio Grande Valley—who tend to be poorer and less able to travel long distances for an abortion. Those clinics that remain will be serving more women with fewer doctors, leading to longer wait times and delayed procedures, the opponents say.

Since a major reason women who have abortions choose to get pregnant in the first place is that abortion is easily available and, in many cases, paid for by someone else, I fail to see a down side here. Just maybe, if it is actually inconvenient to get an abortion, they'll choose to be a little more careful--like maybe NOT hopping into bed with every guy they meet, and making use of one of the many forms of contraceptives when they DO decide to go that far.

Pro-abortion women, pay close attention to this. These challenges have nothing to do with women's rights. These challengers want to *prevent* abortuaries from operating under the same health and safety standards that legitimate medical facilities have to adhere to. This means that the health and safety of women aren't even a concern for the abortion business--maximizing their profits at the expense of women is their *only* concern.

So, the nondescript little buildings, no more than a house or minimally equipped storefront with garbage cans out back, hidden away in locations with deceptive names (e.g., Womens’ Health Services et al) will have to meet criteria that other medical service providers have to, say, removing warts and hangnails. Good for Texas.

They want to murder unborn babies and they want to do it like they're running an abattoir, only they throw it all away. Murdering bunch of little Eichmann's if you ask me.

Ambulatory surgical centers are facilities that conduct outpatient or same-day surgical procedures, and must meet specific requirements regarding infrastructure, procedures, and equipment. The centers cost far more to run than abortion clinics, and would cost several million dollars to build from the ground up.

If the issue of "women's health," is genuinely important to you then you should happily operate without a profit in order to build/fund the necessary facilities. Think of it as being like minimum wage laws increasing the operating costs of a business, you liberals all think that a business should just reduce it's profit in order to pay the employees more. Your abortion business doesn't need profits, right?

Let us pray that this is just the beginning. A small wedge that will open a floodgate of anti-abortion legislation that will survive in court.

God please bless the babies.

I thought Democrats loved regulations?
They are constantly whining about not enough regulations, deregulation etc.

"I can't find anyone to deliver water or resurface the parking lot, because they're against abortion. I can't get someone to fix a leak in the roof," said Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Women's Health.

That indicates that FAR more than "a sizable portion of the public is vehemently opposed to abortion and unwilling to aid it in any way". That indicates near-unanimous consensus, at least among the men who resurface parking lots and fix roofs.

Maybe they can ask the faculty of the local college's "Women's Studies" dept to fix their roof?

Well the Sex Pistols wrote a SCORCHER on abortion...blew the roof off with this one.Perhaps this could be Wendy’s campaign song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9V1SrhZJg0

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree

She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace

Body, I’m not an animal
Body, I’m not an animal

Dragged on a table in a factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby, screaming

Body, screamin’, fucking bloody mess
Not an animal, it’s an abortion

Body, I’m not an animal
Mummy, I’m not an abortion

Throbbing squirm
Gurgling bloody mess

I’m not a discharge
I’m not a loss in protein
I’m not a throbbing squirm

F*** this and f*** that
F*** it all and f*** the f****** brat
She don’t wanna baby that looks like that
I don’t wanna baby that looks like that

Body, I’m not an animal
Body, an abortion

Body, I’m not an animal
Body, I’m not an animal
An animal, I’m not an animal

I’m not an animal, an animal
I’m not an animal, I ain’t no animal

I’m not a body
I’m not an animal, an animal
I ain’t no animal, I’m not an animal
I’m not an animal, Mummy

I've been following this story for awhile.

Call me naive, but I was amazed that abortion clinics were held to a much lower standard than other surgical centers. Setting all questions of morality aside ... it's an outpatient surgical procedure, there *is* risk involved to the patient, and thus, abortions should be treated as such.

Not that you'd ever hear such things in the MSM. I've learned more on FR than I'd ever pick up in the news.
