Women’s Med Center, home abortionist Martin Haskell, who pioneered the gruesome — and now illegal — partial-birth abortion procedure, may finally close forever, thanks to a ruling from an Ohio appeals court. The facility, which commits abortions<\/a> even in the third trimester of pregnancy, failed to meet state licensing regulations, which require either admitting privileges or a transfer agreement with a local hospital. Thanks to the ruling from the appeals court, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is now free to revoke the facility’s license<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ohio has been battling with Women’s Med Center for years in an effort to close the notorious abortion facility. Last month, Ohio\u2019s Second District Court of Appeals heard the case, in which the facility battled an adjudication order revoking the facility’s license as an ambulatory surgical center. Women’s Med Center had filed an appeal in 2016, and a judge previously allowed the facility to remain open as it fought the state requirements.<\/p>\n

In the ruling<\/a>, the three-judge panel declared that \u201cODH was entitled to revoke, suspend, or refuse, to renew the license\u201d of the facility.<\/p>\n
