Operation Rescue reports that a late term abortion facility in Cleveland, The Center for Women's Health, will be closed due to "over a dozen code violations".
The closing of this facility adds yet another to the string of abortion facilities that have been forcibly shut down for health violations in the last two months.
One of the tactics of the pro-life movement has been to push for health and safety standards at abortion facilities, and then encourage the enforcement of those laws after they are passed.
“The closure of Ruddock’s clinic shows that the implementation of standards are effective at stopping abortion until it can be banned nationally. Standards are useful tools that are putting abortionist clinics out of business in droves,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “As a result, our land is not only a safer place for women, but also for the child in the womb.”

This mill was a National Abortion Federation member clinic.
NAF claims: Our member clinics care for more than half the women who choose abortion each year in the United States. In order to become a member, a clinic must complete a rigorous application process. Member clinics have agreed to comply with our standards for quality and care, updated annually in our Clinical Policy Guidelines, which set the evidence-based standards for abortion care in North America. NAF periodically conducts site visits to confirm that our clinics are in compliance with our guidelines.
One wonders what the inspections are like:
1. Staff all have a pulse
2. Cash register in working order
3. Big Yellow Pages ad
