[Washington Examiner] California law protects dogs, cats, and other animals from unscrupulous veterinary clinics with an array of 158 separate laws, including licensure, qualification and training requirements for veterinarians and staff, physical clinic standards, and cleanliness standards.Why, then, does California law provide no standards whatsoever to safeguard women experiencing abortion from dirty and dangerous abortion businesses? Because every single one of the commonsense medical standards that use to protect California women from fly-by-night abortionists — from a 24-hour follow-up system for emergencies to an "adequate patient recovery area" have been wiped off the books by state courts or pro-abortion lawmakers, at the urging of abortion practitioners and advocates.
How can it be that in California and many other places in America, we care more about our pets than we do about the health and safety of women facing a life-changing abortion decision?
Americans United for Life set out to answer that question with the most extensive public records investigation ever to shine the light of truth on the nation’s abortion industry. The result is Unsafe, an exhaustive analysis of every publicly available abortion facility health and safety inspection report, and the grave implications this trove of inspection documentation raises for the safety of women who seek abortion in America.
Unsafe tells the story of how the abortion industry bet everything on a strategy of total repeal of the nation’s abortion laws, believing against the evidence that abortion would be safe if it were just made legal. America’s women lost that bet when the Supreme Court struck down abortion laws in all 50 states in Roe v. Wade. Unsafe is the comprehensive, documented record of the tragic consequences of that lost bet: 2,400 abortion facility health and safety violations reported in just the last 12 years (2008—2020), implicating well over 300 abortion businesses in hazardous, unclean abortions. Add to that the colossal toll abortion has taken in human lives and the physical and emotional suffering of survivors.
