The Ohio Supreme Court revoked the license of an abortion clinic in Toledo, Ohio, Tuesday after years of inspection violations and a failure to meet the state’s abortion clinic standards.
The state’s Supreme Court upheld the Ohio Department of Health’s order revoking the license of Toledo’s Capital Care abortion clinic because it repeatedly failed to produce a written transfer agreement with a hospital for emergency cases where women undergoing abortions need immediate transportation to a nearby hospital.
The clinic did have an agreement with the Ann Arbor University of Michigan Health System, but the Ann Arbor hospital is more than 50 miles away and is therefore not considered local under the Health Department’s requirement.
State inspectors also found 24 violations at the abortion clinic in the past 10 years, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
“Americans United for Life is encouraged by the Ohio Supreme Court’s determination that the Ohio Department of Health’s decision to revoke the license of an abortion center that failed to meet state standards for patient care was supported by ‘reliable, probative, and substantial evidence and is in accordance with law,'” Americans United For Life President Catherine Glenn Foster said in a written statement.

The abortion industry has long argued it should be exempt from standards and inspections that are routinely applied to other facilities that perform invasive surgical procedures, Foster added and noted the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision to hold abortion clinics to the same standards as all other ambulatory surgical centers in the state is a big win for the pro-life movement.
