Birmingham, AL — On Friday, April 6, 2012, following two months of investigation that rendered a 76-page deficiency report regarding the New Woman All Women abortion clinic, the Alabama Department of Public Health deemed it necessary to remove the abortion clinic’s license based on “significant failures in maintaining compliance with the Rules of the Alabama State Board of Health for the safe and effective provision of care.”
These significant failures included:
- non-licensed employees administering medications to patients
- false and inaccurate medical records
- failure to follow-up with patients experiencing deadly complications after abortion procedures, as well as failure to inform the doctor or hospital of these complications
- overdosing at least two known patients, and placing a third in ICU for excessive bleeding, due to inexperienced, untrained employees and lack of correct procedures and policies.
