License Revoked from New Orleans Abortion Facility

January 19, 2010
For Immediate Release

NEW ORLEANS - Earlier today, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals revoked the license of a New Orleans abortion facility, known as the "Gentilly Medical Clinic for Women", for failure to comply with the Louisiana's abortion facility standards.

From WWLTV News:  "DHH Secretary Alan Levine said the license revocation came after the facility failed to comply with several regulations. He said the clinic was operating without a nurse on staff, without a site-specific Louisiana controlled dangerous substance license and without a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration controlled substance registration."

Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director of Louisiana Right to Life, stated, "We are very thankful to Secretary Alan Levine, the Department of Health and Hospitals, and the Jindal Administration for enforcing the Louisiana laws that regulate the operations of abortion facilities.  We encourage our government to continue to inspect and regulate the other seven abortion facilities located in Louisiana."

"We rejoice that this facility, which has exploited women and taken the lives of so many unborn children, can no longer operate in Louisiana.  We hope it remains that way," Clapper finished.
