MUSKEGON, Mich. (WordNews.org) Dec. 28, 2012 – The Women’s Medical Services clinic here has been boarded up and closed until further notice.
Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion activist group, said the closure was the result of work it did, but declined to provide further details.
“We are happy to announce that the closure of Women’s Medical Services is the twenty-fourth abortion clinic to close in 2012,” said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation. “There is a lot more to tell about this closure, but we cannot disclose further details at this time. Suffice it to say that there were serious violations at Women’s Medical Services that made it unsafe to continue operating?”
Newman said the Michigan clinic is just the latest of a number of abortion clinics to close this year.
“Abortion clinics are closing at a rate of about two per month,” said Newman. “In 1991, there were 2,176 abortion clinics in America. Today, there are just 660. Nearly 70 percent of all surgical abortion clinics have closed for good. We look forward to the day when all abortion sites have been shut down and the pre-born baby is once again protected by law.”
