They don't even have to meet the most basic standards:
"
The Right to Life Office moved to 2126 Inwood a year ago, and Humbarger said that she has seen "women leaving (the clinic) in apparent discomfort. Moreover, these women were unable to walk unassisted - apparently as the result of having undergone an abortion. These women had to walk down steps and across a parking lot to their vehicles. On each occasion, these women were being physically held up by a (clinic) employee and/or an unidentified person.
"It was obvious their physical condition required being transported in a wheelchair, but that is not available to them because there is no wheelchair ramp."
"
Humbarger said the complaint is not intended to be petty but to protect women and to ensure that the clinic is held to the same legal standard as churches, businesses and even "gentlemen's clubs." As The News-Sentinel reported in 2006, the opening of the multi-level Shangri-La East on Coliseum Boulevard was delayed after inspectors ordered the installation of an elevator in order to comply with the ADA.
"We care about these women, and the lack of proper care after the procedure is alarming to me," Humbarger said."

I am pro Choice, so we vehemently disagree on that.
However, it is just plain partisan blather and, frankly, partisan sellout of women, to be against having clean standards in abortion facilities.
I was at Purdue for undergrad. My last academic year there I had a roommate who got pregnant. She made the choice to get an abortion and it was through PP that she got it. The closest facility was in Indy. I offered to drive her there. I stayed with her before and after the procedure in the "recovery" room, which was just a lobby-like area with reclining chairs - cloth at that.
I was dumbfounded at the filth in the facility. Cloth chairs after a procedure???? And, no, they put no covers on them. The women who checked on her afterwards were not RNs. They didn't even take her temp or her bp. They just instructed me that we could leave after 30 min and she was just supposed to sit there. They gave her juice.
She was in pain but no one else was. I didn't know if she just had a lower threshold for pain, was being dramatic, or was really in more pain than she needed to be. I informed the person who was "checking" on her and she said a bit of discomfort is normal. I said it was more than discomfort.
Anyway, long story short, we left. On the hour drive back to Purdue, she told me it was disgustingly dirty where they did the procedure. When we got back, her pain increased. The next day it was worse and by the afternoon, her fever was too high for an adult - 102 - so I took her to the ER. She had peritonitis and had to spend several days in the hospital getting IV antibiotics.
A few years later, I lived in Michigan. Again, a friend from grad school had arranged for an abortion for herself and asked me if I would drive her to and from it. She had no complications, thankfully; but again, I was horrified by how disgusting the facility was. Anywhere one goes for a medical procedure, there are standards - cleanliness, medical personnel with certifications and licenses, equipment available in the event of an emergency, etc..
Abortions are medical procedures, and as a person who is pro Choice and will defend a woman's right to make such a choice, I find anyone who is against this to be a sellout to women who DO choose, and selling out for an asinine and nonsensical partisan "point".
It's just retarded. Period.
And, on most things related to this topic, I disagree very vehemently with you. On this? No way.
