Only Miss. abortion clinic gets license reprieve
Source: AP-Excite
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has temporarily blocked Mississippi from revoking the license of the state's only abortion clinic.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III on Monday extended an injunction he issued several months ago. It blocks the state from closing the clinic while it tries to fulfill a 2012 state law.
The law requires all OB-GYNs who do abortions at Jackson Women's Health Organization to have privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.

2. Thank goodness
I keep wondering where the courts are in this mess of Rethuglicans attempting to push the Christian Taliban's agenda. The majority of these laws are bound to be Unconstitutional on a few levels.
If the court fights start now, by the time it would get to the USSC, Obama will have appointed at least a more moderate judge or two.

6. On a day of so much horrific news, thank you for this, Omaha Steve. nt
Yes, because if an abortionist mutilates a woman the same way Gosnell did it'd be a darned shame if he could have his dying patient admitted to a hospital.

April 9, 2013 (WPVI) -- A local abortion clinic is under fire, facing allegations of unsafe and unsanitary conditions.
A series of emergency calls made from the Planned Parenthood of Delaware this year are raising concerns about what's happening behind the closed doors.

The former nurses claim that a rush to get patients in and out left operating tables soiled and unclean.
Werbrich said "It's not washed down, it's not even cleaned off. It has bloody drainage on it."
"They could be at risk of getting hepatitis, even AIDS," added Vasikonis.
