From Mike McMonagle, President
Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania
This
proposed legislation requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at
a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion facility where they plan to
commit abortions. Such a requirement provides some minimal assurance of
the medical competence of a physician intending to commit abortions.
The findings of the investigation into Philadelphia
abortionist Kermit Gosnell also recommended such a requirement.
Abortionist Kermit Gosnell had lost his admitting privileges at nearby
Presbyterian and University of Pa. Hospitals because he frequently sent
women to these hospitals whom he had gravely injured by abortion at his abortion
facility.
Because of the medically incompetent background of many
abortionists, such legislation has resulted in the closure of abortion
facilities in other states, such as eight in Texas since it took effect in
November 2013. By a 5-4 vote on November 19, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court
allowed the Texas admitting privileges law to take effect.
Another
testimony to the likely effectiveness of admitting privileges legislation in
Pa. is the Pa. abortion industry's opposition to such legislation. For example,
the leader of this industry, Planned Parenthood of Pa., is organizing a "Lobby
Day" in our State Capitol on April 29, 2014 to express their opposition to
H.B. 1762. Please remember that, in 2011, Planned Parenthood of Pa. led the opposition
to the passage of S.B. 732, which strengthened Pa.'s regulations on abortion
facilities in the wake of the revelations regarding the atrocities committed by
abortionist Kermit Gosnell at his Philadelphia abortion facility.
