Investigation Shuts Down Florida Abortion Clinic

A Florida abortion clinic had its license suspended this past weekend after two women who had undergone procedures at the clinic were hospitalized this year. NTD spoke with the CEO of Reprotection, the organization that led the investigation into this clinic.

Missy Martinez-Stone says some clinics here in the United States don’t meet established medical or operational standards, and it’s putting women’s lives at risk. She says something as basic as a transfer agreement between a hospital and a clinic that should outline how, when, and what’s needed to move a patient into hospital care in the event of a medical emergency is too often missing.
