And she wants everyone to feel sorry for her, since <a href=\"http:\/\/rhrealitycheck.org\/article\/2015\/05\/18\/virginia-clinics-navigate-changing-trap-law-feel-like-im-digging-hole-filling-back\/\">she has to abide by increased regulations implemented by the state of Virginia<\/a>. For pro-abortion extremists, this is apparently the worst thing ever, having to actually practice medicine in safe and sanitary conditions. For Codding, she says it might put her clinic out of business.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Falls Church center, like the other clinics in Virginia, received a waiver exempting them from complying with the architectural requirements for the year. Still, the clinic, which rents space in an office building, requested that an architect see what changes they\u2019d need to make in order to comply with the anti-choice measure. The estimate alone cost the center $11,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a small community center like ours, $11,000 is almost everything we need to pay for capital improvements for a whole year,\u201d Codding told RH Reality Check. \u201cSo now that\u2019s totally wiped out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The architect told the center that the cost of renovating could range from $500,000 to $1.5 million, or the equivalent of 40 years\u2019 worth of net resources for the clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when people say, \u2018You mean you would just close?\u2019 Well, of course,\u201d Codding said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Codding, under the law, had to create bylaws for the center, even though they weren\u2019t required under LLC rules. She had to create personnel files for each staff member with state-mandated information, including medical and vaccination history, and a copy of the staff person\u2019s job description and curriculum vitae, to be updated each year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat may not seem like much, but it takes time and talent away from what we do,\u201d she said. \u201cIt takes resources away from our patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Abortion clinics in Virginia have continued to provide quality reproductive health care. \u201cI think I\u2019m digging a hole and filling it back in,\u201d Codding said again. \u201cAnd yet we do provide quality, meaningful care to our patients, in spite of all this. I think that is amazing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting that Codding speaks so highly of her patient care, and rails so harshly against the regulations put into place in Virginia. It&#8217;s also interesting \u2014\u00a0and not unexpected \u2014\u00a0that she ignores <em>why<\/em> these stricter regulations were enacted.<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, <a href=\"\/news\/pro-aborts-speak-out-against-virginias-potentially-life-saving-abortion-regulations\/\">inspectors found that not one abortion mill in Virginia was free from violations and deficiencies<\/a>. There were 80\u00a0citations among the nine clinics, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u202218 citations for personnel issues, including no background checks, no ongoing plans for staff training, no maintenance of personnel files, no policy requiring staff to be CPR trained, no policies setting experience and training required to practice<br \/>\n\u202213 citations for infection prevention issues, including seven clinics with no clear division between clean and dirty utility areas, four centers where personnel weren\u2019t using personal protective equipment, and a host of record-keeping issues<br \/>\n\u202210 citations regarding the administration, storage, and dispensing of drugs, including four with expired drugs in stock, and others with improper labeling of drugs; no medication dispensing policy<br \/>\n\u202210 maintenance of equipment citations, including equipment not in good repair, no preventative maintenance plan<br \/>\n\u2022Six citations for local and state building code violations<\/p>\n<p>Employees had also admitted to not knowing which instruments were clean and which ones were not. At least one freezer was found with blood and &#8220;conception material&#8221; frozen inside. And these were the conditions when employees knew that inspectors were coming \u2014\u00a0how much worse would they have been if the inspections had been surprise visits?<\/p>\n<p>As for Codding herself, her facility\u00a0also had the special honor of <a href=\"\/news\/virginia-abortion-clinic-brags-of-performing-abortions-after-being-flooded-by-hurricane-sandy\/\">performing abortions in disgusting conditions after Hurricane Sandy<\/a>, something she saw as an apparent badge of honor. The facility\u00a0was flooded with over two inches of water; there was mold everywhere, flooded offices, and water continuing to leak into the building. And for Codding, these were acceptable conditions under which to practice medicine, even though there were in no means safe or sanitary.<\/p>\n<p>Yet she wants us all to feel super sorry for her because Virginia officials are cracking down on the disgusting conditions abortion mills, including hers, were operating under? What dream world is she living in?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosemary Codding is the policy director for the Falls Church Healthcare Center in Virginia.
