We have also heard numerous complaints from women leaving the Columbus Women\u2019s Health Organization about the care being provided, which we began documenting.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This should come as no surprise to people familiar with Derzis and her operations.\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/diane-derzis-owner-of-mississippis-last-abortion-clinic-god-wants-me-to-provide-abortions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Derzis has said <\/a>that her abortion work is a call from God, but her Mississippi clinic cannot find a abortionist with admitting privileges at a local hospital, as required by Mississippi law. In fact, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonwomenshealth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">home page of the clinic opens<\/a> with a banner advertisement looking for a doctor who can kill babies and who meets the admitting privileges requirement. So far, no takers. The 5th\u00a0Circuit Court of Appeals court <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.gulflive.com\/mississippi-press-news\/2014\/03\/new_orleans_federal_appeals_co.html\" target=\"_blank\">said this week it will hear arguments<\/a> on the Mississippi law next month, but until then, Derzis\u2019 unsafe clinic cannot take babies\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n<p>Her troubles across the state line in Alabama led her to continue to operate her New Woman, All Women abortion clinic even after she lost the license. <a href=\"\/news\/alabama-abortion-clinic-operating-without-a-license-ordered-to-close\/\" target=\"_blank\">After much publicity and health department reports<\/a>, the clinic finally shut down.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently Derzis\u2019 troubles skipped along with her to the next state and now her Georgia clinic can\u2019t keep an abortionist. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cecforlife.com\/?p=1666\" target=\"_blank\">CEC For Life notes:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The news of this resignation comes on the heels of another blow to Derzis\u2019 Georgia facility.\u00a0 Her second Georgia abortionist, Andre Williams, was recently indicted for Medicaid fraud.\u00a0 With no abortionists, a dilapidated building, and growing pressure from the public calling for an investigation from the state, it looks as if Derzis will soon be facing her own resignation.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reportedly, Derzis\u2019 Alabama clinic and her home are up for sale, indicating that her reign of terror over the unborn may soon cease simply because the money and resources are drying up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not a good sign for an abortion clinic&#8217;s future when even the abortionist quits.
