I remember the argument about admitting rights, but the article specifically states
quote:. Is this another provision of the same law?
federal appeals court ruled Thursday that the state may enforce a law that requires those facilities to be built to the same standards as hospitals.

Yes, it's the same law that's been passed in a few other states, and it's written to put a heavy burden on abortion clinics and force them to close. Doctors must have admitting privileges, clinics must meet certain architectural specifications with no grandfathering in, etc. There were a couple of other provisions I'm forgetting, but the underlying intent is to force the clinics to close because they don't have the financial ability to build new facilities, and very few hospitals, especially rural ones, are going to grant admitting privileges to a doctor that performs abortions.
I am against abortion, but there are much better ways to reduce the number of abortions performed.
