New Jersey Department of Health officials recently found another abortion facility, Alternatives Clinic in the state's casino capital Atlantic City, to be a reproductive health hazard.
Alternatives gave new meaning to alternative medicine.
According to the Associated Press, violations at this abortion clinic included "Blood under operating tables, rusty IV poles, expired drugs and shoddy patient records," plus:
- A scrub area used for storage.
- Unlabeled drug-filled syringes.
- Sterile tubes in open packages.
- Soiled table pads.
- Nurses with expired licenses.
- An overcrowded, not private, recovery room.
The clinic remains closed, although the tiny butterflies (an odd symbol for an outfit that destroys new life cocooned in mothers) on Alternatives' website still flutter.
This AC clinic is not the only one where women having abortions in the Garden State take a gamble. Rasheedah Dinkins, 20, nearly died after having an abortion at the Metropolitan Medical Associates clinic in Englewood. The Health Department shut down the "most experienced provider in NJ for over 30 years" earlier in 2007.
Metropolitan's abortionists are back in business and still offer their "Special Online Discount" on abortions coupon.
Life is cheap.
