Abortion Licensing Fiasco: No Ohio Abortion Facility is in Legal Compliance

A special investigative report from Operation Rescue

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.
