quote:It has been a while since this was passed but as I recall, the physicians were from out of state and traveled here only for the purpose of performing abortions. Why would hospitals (Baptist and St Dominic come to mind) give admitting privileges to such physicians?
Im confused about why this would shut the clinic down. Were local hospitals refusing to credential the abortion factory doctors? I find that hard to believe.

I am pro-life but the purpose of the law was to shut down the clinic in a surreptitious way. If a mother had an untoward event during or after an abortion, EMTALA would prevent any emergency room from turning the woman away. Why would it matter whether or not if the abortion doctor had privileges there?
