In New York City, there is good reason to believe that your pizza is safer than your local abortion clinic as inspections have been few and far between. A bill in the state assembly, along with a new advertising campaign, aims to change that by asking for regular inspections of the city’s abortion facilities. The bill<\/a> in the New York State Assembly, A03048 was introduced by Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island). The bill notes:<\/a><\/p>\n

“A recent Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request uncovered the fact that only 17 of the 25 abortion clinics in New York had been inspected between 2000 and 2012, and five of those 17 had received only one inspection during that time period. Eight abortion clinics received no inspections.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The bill would require abortion facilities be inspected by the health department once every two years\u00a0 and report findings to the governor and legislature, which is in accordance with the policies for restaurants and tanning salon inspections in the city.<\/p>\n

The creators of the advertising campaign are also the creators of the NYC41 website<\/a>. This site was originally created to highlight the 41% abortion rate in New York City (currently at 37%, twice the national average). Now the Chiaroscuro Group<\/a>, is highlighting another abortion tragedy, the lack of inspections.<\/p>\n
