On the same day that abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of murdering babies, an abortion facility in Charlotte was shut down and had its license revoked by health inspectors who said the clinic was “an imminent threat to the health and safety of patients.”
Talk about a bad day for abortionists.
The Preferred Women’s Health Center, one of three abortion clinics in Charlotte, offered chemical abortions up to nine weeks’ gestation and surgical abortions up to 20 weeks.
Inspectors from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services conducted a surprise visit to the clinic as a follow up to an investigation that started in December of last year when state inspectors reportedly discovered dead insects, blood splatters, and dirty instruments in the clinic.
The Catholic News Herald reports that inspectors found that the clinic does “present an imminent danger to the health, safety and welfare of the clients and that emergency action is required to protect the clients.”
Wait, you mean an abortion clinic that hurts women? How can it be possible. I thought us pro-lifers were the ones waging a war on women.
And then, get this, in an example of amazing hubris, despite being shut down, the clinic was still taking appointments for abortions.
Despite the state’s order to close on May 10, facility employees were still scheduling abortion appointments for later in the week when the Catholic News Herald telephoned the facility two separate times on Monday, May 13. Later on Monday, after the Catholic News Herald called a third time and told the staff about the state’s decision to revoke the clinic’s operating license, no cars were seen outside the building and a closed sign was posted on the front door.
Pro-life advocates from St. Thomas Aquinas Church among others had gone out on Saturday morning, May 11, to pray in front of the facility, as usual, and found it closed. Clinic staff members were seen turning away scheduled patients in the parking lot, they noted, but pro-lifers said they heard the closure was for Saturday and Monday only, and that appointments were expected to resume on Tuesday.
Ricky Diaz, a spokesman for the health department, said inspectors would follow up Tuesday to ensure that the clinic remained shut down.
These abortion clinics can’t believe that they’re actually being inspected for realzies. Perhaps there is some good coming out of Gosnell’s house of horrors.

The real question is how it is everyone else's fault except theirs. I've noticed the leftists are deregulators on abortion and want a multitude of corporations heavily regulated for environmental impact for…wait for it…"to ensure the safety of the environment". Tey seem like they are pretty cavalier with the safety of women. I think it's leftist schizophrenia, where by endangering womens health, they protect women's health.
And if nothing else maybe people will start to see abortion for what it is. A very serious surgical procedure and not equivalent to getting ones teeth cleaned.

….in regard to the abortion "industry",
Licensure of providership….cause for investigaton,
Not following established standard policies and procedures. No practice of deviation may be made without supervisory (Medical Licensure) oversight, acknowledgement and approval. Then "follow up" documentation and record keeping must be made that reflects an "accurate" accounting of circumstances, interventions and OUTCOMES!
It's the falsefication of documentation and lack of business and patient record keeping they"ll get nailed on!
…as for equipment,
All equipment must be shown to reflect proper maintenance and up keep. Must be kept clean and in proper working order while in use. Equipment may not be used for any other purpose, function or procedure, other than what it was intended for.
This is disgusting,
Proper handling and disposal of biohazardous medical/infectious waste material!
….all of these are very serious violations!
…just giving a few helpful hints!

Bad news:
Latrobe is cleared to reopen today.
The same spokesman for the state health department who on Monday was insistent and about the indefinite closure and enforcement of the license suspension told the Charlotte Observer tuesday that it will now be reopened, because apparently the clinic owner provided a plan to stop giving abortion medications inappropriately. Nothing was mentioned about the other serious violations on the 12 page inspection report.
