The law requires doctors performing abortions at clinics to have hospital privileges. This is important because women injured in abortions need to be hospitalized with a minimum of trouble. A number of women have died because they were not transported to the hospital in time after a botched abortion.
One clinic owner, whose clinic had to close because of the law, said the following:
“I’ve been able to keep the doors open and the phone staff working up until this week,” she said in the letter. “We’ve been working on legal remedies, injunction, etc., but I was unable to bridge the financial gap of paying the monthly lease and operating expenses without knowing when we could resume seeing patients. … I’m so angry about this, also sad, and I’m grateful for whatever wisdom I possess that keeps me from feeling like a victim.”
