As much as I cringe at the thought of anyone having to enter an abortion clinic… maybe the inspections will cause some of these clinic to close down. If your going to claim that an abortion is a “medical” procedure then the places that these acts happens need to be clean. Maybe Planned Parenthood won’t be able to afford the up keep on their clinic or those random abortion clinic will shut down… Hopeful that will mean less children dying.
