Delaware has become the first state to offer no surgical abortions since Roe v Wade in 1973 after Planned Parenthood of Delaware suspended performing them at its Dover clinic.
The action was reported April 30.
It occurred after five 911 calls came from the clinic for women in abortion-related emergency situations, which prompted a state investigation.
Who needs back alleys?
Two former nurse employees have described horrific and unsafe conditions in the clinic, and that an abortionist there had a history of falsifying medical records in New York prior to moving on to work in Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Allegations against Planned Parenthood include unsanitary conditions, use of unsterile medical equipment, over-medicated patients, and failure to wash hands between surgeries.
Planned Parenthood has closed its Wilmington facility for administrative functions.
Two affiliates of the Atlantic Women’s Medical Services shut down in the state in
2011 when it was discovered they were associated with Kermit Gosnell,
Roe v Wade was the Supreme Court decision that made it difficult for legislative bodies to restrict abortion.
