Haskell Ordered to Cease Operations At His Cincinnati Area Abortion Clinic
January 21, 2014
Cincinnati, OH - The Ohio Department of Health has denied an operating
license to late-term abortionist Martin Haskell and ordered him to
cease operations at his Lebanon Road Surgery Center abortion clinic,
also known as "Women's Med Center," in Sharonville, Ohio, by February 4, 2014.
The
ODH refused to issue the license after years of dispute over Haskell's
lack of required hospital privileges. Haskell had operated under a
variance granted by the ODH that allowed him to special permission to
continue to commit abortions as long as he had an agreement with other
physicians to provide hospital care for his patients suffering from
abortion injuries or complications.
"There
is a history of problems with this particular ambulatory surgery
facility and operator," an ODH spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"The agency no longer has confidence that this ambulatory surgery
facility will take necessary steps to operate in accordance with
regulations."
