Abortion Business Has License Suspended
The Alabama state health department has suspended the medical license of a Birmingham abortion business after learning that a non-doctor gave a woman there the dangerous abortion drug RU 486 in February. Additional information indicates that the woman was in here third trimester. The drug is only approved for woman early in their pregnancy.
State officials said the incident involved “multiple, serious” violations of state law and “practices and conduct that are detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the public.” The health department said it had no choice but to revoke the abortion center’s license in order to protect public health.
Summit Medical Centers operates seven abortion businesses in five states and has another abortion center in Montgomery, Alabama. The state health department ordered Summit to refer current patients elsewhere and to “cease all operation” as an abortion facility. It set a hearing date on the matter for June 20.
