Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center, an abortion business in Dallas, Texas, has announced<\/a> it is permanently closing. The abortion facility was first opened in 1973 by ‘all ages’ abortionist Curtis Boyd, who admitted<\/a> to aborting 10,000 babies illegally<\/em><\/strong> prior to Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center is still owned by Boyd, who once said during a deposition, “There’s no set period” on the latest gestational age that he will kill a preborn child. The business announced on its website:<\/p>\n

We, at Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center, are heartbroken to inform you that we are permanently ceasing operations. Our last day of patient care is March 2, 2023. …\u00a0<\/em>It has been a great honor and privilege to serve the pregnant people of Texas and we will continue to care for those patients at our sister clinics\u2014Southwestern Women\u2019s Options in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Presidential Women\u2019s Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.<\/i><\/p>\n

Following the Supreme Court ruling of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em>, which overturned\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em> in June, the facility ceased committing abortions but remained open. Since that day it has reportedly been dispensing contraception and managing miscarriages as well as advising women on out-of-state abortions. It has also been managing “follow-up care” for women after their abortions.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, in managing miscarriages post-Roe<\/em>, the facility is essentially admitting that abortion advocates who attempt to conflate miscarriage treatment and abortion are being dishonest at best. Miscarriage treatment is not<\/em>\u00a0an induced abortion, the latter of which intentionally ends the life of an undelivered human being.<\/p>\n
