Planned Parenthood spokesperson Rebecca Cavanaugh on the closing of 2 abortion the clinics because they violated regulations and were operating under unsafe conditions:
“These inspections and regulations are important and the clinics which were closed this week were not operating under the rules and regulations which are already in place, and we support them being closed. But we worry that for women with limited financial means, or limited means of transportation, this just removed two options.”
This is ironic because Planned Parenthood fought the law requiring inspections for clinics to and now. Now, however, they realize they have to do damage control.
The law that closed the clinics went into effect because 2 women died at them, and there were various reports of unhealthy and unsafe conditions. Also from Planned Parenthood:
“Gosnell absolutely changed things, because we are seeing a lot more unannounced inspections to our facilities, which we welcome,”
“Our concern is that more clinics will have to close, and that will remove more choices for women.”
“That we welcome.” This is completely untrue – Planned Parenthood describes itself as opposing such laws on their website.
