<\/div>

Alabama health officials proposed new rules<\/a> Wednesday that would reduce the number of abortions a doctor could perform before his or her practice would be regulated as an abortion facility.<\/p>\n

Currently in Alabama, a doctor\u2019s office can perform 30 abortions per month without being licensed as an abortion provider.\u00a0 The proposed rules would define an abortion clinic as any facility that performs 10 or more abortions in any single month and 100 or more in a year, thus reducing the number of abortions that be performed without a license.<\/p>\n

Disgraced abortionist Bruce Norman of now-closed New Woman All Women, a Birmingham abortion center infamous for its 76-page deficiency report and numerous botched abortions<\/a>, has used Alabama\u2019s law to attempt to continue performing abortions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Norman\u2019s attorney has already criticized the proposed rules, noting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost making it impossible for Dr. Norman to keep going.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The proposal will be considered during a public hearing October 24.\u00a0 Pro-lifers in Alabama, led by the Charismatic Episcopal Church, have already begun a letter-writing campaign<\/a> in support of the proposed rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
