Abortion Licensing Fiasco: No Ohio Abortion Facility is in Legal Compliance
A special investigative report from Operation Rescue
August 28, 2014

Columbus, OH - What would
you think if you were told that no abortion facility in your home state
held a current facility license as required by law, yet all of them
continued to do abortions that were technically illegal - with full
knowledge of state authorities?
That is not simply a hypothetical situation in Ohio. It is the scandalous reality.
Operation Rescue confirmed
this week that out of eleven abortion facilities in that state, none
hold current, active Ambulatory Surgical Facility licenses. While
applications for licensure or license renewal have been made by all but
one abortion facility, the Ohio Department of Health has not approved
or denied their licensing applications. Some have been pending for
over a year - one facility has been waiting since 2012 for licensing
renewal - even though the law requires that ASF licenses be renewed
annually.
