President Biden and Democrats in Congress are working to do away with the federal ‘Mexico City Policy’ and the Hyde Amendment that prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortionists overseas and paying for elective abortions here at home.
Last week marked the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade abortion decision that overturned pro-life laws and legalized abortion on demand nationwide.
President Biden and Vice President Harris issued a joint press release celebrating Roe v. Wade on its anniversary.
Arkansas has some regulatory limitations in effect statewide, and so their response to AUL’s request for information included mostly individual physician records, the majority of which were routine documentation. Clinical inspection reports included citations for discharging patients before the 48-hour waiting period expired, failure to properly clean facilities, and failure to perform accurate drug counts of controlled substances. The record for an abortionist employed at Little Rock Family Planning Services included several citations for over prescribing opioids, including one woman who blamed her mother’s death in 1994 on the abortionist’s over-prescription. The abortionist’s record also included a 2008 DUI which he self-reported to the Arkansas Medical Board, and a patient complaint letter following an adverse event from her 2006 abortion which left her incapable of having children.
AUL’s investigation revealed abortion facilities in Arkansas were among those cited for failing to properly perform or document staff training, failing to “ensure a safe and sanitary environment for their patients,” and failing to properly handle medications.
Abortion is not safe. It kills unborn children, and it carries significant health risks for women.
This latest report simply further illustrates that fact.
