Dayton, Ohio – Ohio has dropped its efforts to close a suburban Dayton abortion clinic that was operating without an agreement with a local hospital for emergency care in violation of the law.
Health Director Dr. Alvin Jackson stated Tuesday that he is satisfied that late-term abortionist Martin Haskell has sufficiently provided the names of Miami Valley Hospital and three physicians who have agreed to treat Haskell’s botched abortion patients. Pro-life groups are expressing disappointment and outrage that efforts to close the clinic have been discontinued.
Haskell, who heavily promoted the partial-birth abortion procedure recently banned in the Untied States, operated his abortion mill for five years in violation of the law until the Health Department finally revoked his clinic license three weeks ago. Even then, Haskell continued to keep his mill open despite the dangers to women who had no emergency plan in the event of complications.
“It is little wonder why abortionists continue to believe they are above the law when non-enforcement of existing laws sends them that message loud and clear,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
“If Haskell would so brazenly thumb his nose at the law over safety issues, we have to wonder if he isn’t breaking the law in other areas,” said Newman. “Has Haskell discontinued the now illegal partial-birth abortion method of killing late-term, viable babies? How do we know if he has or hasn’t? We call on the State of Ohio to launch a detailed investigation into Haskell’s mill to determine if he is in violation of any other state and local laws.”
While Dayton, Ohio basks in the blood of aborted babies, a nurse by the name of Mary Andrews who works for Planned Parenthood in Arizona has related to the state officials that she has been doing abortions all along and wants nurses to have the legal go ahead to perform surgical abortions the same as she has been doing. Arizona has no law prohibiting non doctors from killing babies! I guess anyone who wants to make some money can put out a sign. With fewer doctors wanting the dirty job, there is a shortage of baby killers to go around! If Arizona gives this nurse the ok to continue surgically extracting babies from their mother’s womb, will other states figure, Oh, well, anyone can do it, so why bother with licenses or inspections or prosecution of these lay people who have no medical background? Maybe even your hairdresser could do them in her back room. How far down are we going to go? NURSES ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT LIFE! I do not believe that good nurses want the job! With Haskell getting the thumbs up on his lucrative baby killing and a few greedy nurses wanting to get in on the blood money, we need some strong pro-life prayers going up! I am astounded by the situation with Haskell going in the direction which it has! This is NOT THE END FOR HIM as he will be in the public eye consistently and his every move will be watched and he is sure to make a mistake! He is playing with the lives of women and their babies and his demise will come! We will only work harder and pray harder and give more of ourselves to this cause, as God needs His people to follow through on His plan to save the babies! We will never give up!
Troy: I have always wondered about the pb abortions -How have they been monitored since the Supreme Court
banned them? Ohio has to get on the ball and investigate what is happening. Is this the Attorney Generals Job? I hear they are killing late term babies with the in injection of potassium chloride. Either way,
late term abortions are horrible as well as any abortion. We have to work harder and smarter.
Those three physicians who have agreed to do Haskell’s dirty work, can rest assure, that the pro-lifers in Dayton will be exposing their dirty deeds to the public.
In the March 5, 2008 Dayton Daily News, it says:
“The clinic … has been fighting in court for years about a state requirement that all ambulatory surgical facilities have written transfer agreements with nearby hospitals. The requirement is intended to ensure patients with complications get “timely and unimpeded” hospital admission.”
Before that it says:
“Health Director … granted a variance to the Women’s Medical Center of Dayton after the clinic named three physicians with admitting privileges at Miami Valley Hospital who have agreed to admit patients dealing with complications, department spokesman … said.”
Later in the article a Miami Valley spokesman says:
“We felt this was a good enough procedure to ensure continuity of care,” … “They’ve met the requirement.”
Here are some big questions:
- How good is “good enough”?
- How many occurrences have there been where a patient has been admitted to the hospital because of an abortion procedure from this clinic in the last 1,3, and 5 years?
- What EXACTLY are the “state requirement” for the “..ambulatory surgical facilities have written transfer agreements”? Does it call for more detail? If so than this does not meet the requirements as the spokesman from the hospital says.
- How available, at any given time, are these three physicians?
- What is the area of specialty for these physicians? Are they dentists?

The 3 doctors who agreed to attend to Haskell’s abotched abortions are foolish to think they would not be involved in a lawsuit where Haskell is named. I would say they are just plain stupid or else they are getting a kickback which they feel makes it worthwhile. Maybe he is paying them a set fee to be available to correct his mistakes. There has to be something more going on here than “the buddy system.” Why have these doctors not stepped out before to say they will offer their services? How did this situation get solved so quickly? Well, Haskell is not out of the woods yet . A patient in my vicinity died before the hospital delivered any blood to the outpatient clinic, and this hospital was right across the street. So he should keep his fingers crossed as anything can happen. There are so many variables to a situation that noone can feel secure that all will go as planned. Hopefully, all of these women who get these abortions will get “sue happy” and doctors will finally realize what they are up against. We must convince women they have the power to demand excellent care, and also to question anything and everything that goes on during a medical procedure. They must be empowered to say no to the men and families who demand they get abortions and assert themelves in their rights. Haskell and his three supporting doctors must learn that women will not tolerate the abuse they have had in the past. Follow doctor’s orders? No, question doctor’s orders. And aboveall, trust your own instincts that they do not have your best interests at heart. They only want your money and to protect themselves. Women have taken a subservient role where their health care is concerned. They need the support and education to empower themselves against these babykillers! Then you can call it “Choice.”
Nurse, Mary Andrews is under scrutiny of the Arizona State Board of Nursing as she has confessed to doing abortions at Planned Parenthood and has requested legal approval for doing them but an Arizona House Committee has now approved legislation in view of her request which would ban nurses and other non-physicians from doing abortions. Michelle Steinberg, spokesman for Planned Parenthood said nurses have been doing their abortions for 8 years. Prior to this action, Arizona did not have any law regarding who could do abortions.
March 10, 2008–40 Days For Life Rally will be holding a prayer vigil out side of Martin Haskell’s Women’s Med Center in Kettering, Ohio. “Dear God, we need a miracle to soften the hearts of those who are involved in taking the lives of your children! Please bless this endeavor to reach out in your behalf to show the love of God to those who know you not. Our hearts are heavy with the burden of abortion and we know your heart aches too! Humbly we bow and ask for your strength and wisdom to be bestowed upon the ones who go forth in your name. We give you all of the praise and glory, Amen. (Ohio is my home and I ask for your prayers to loosen the bond of Satin upon Martin Haskell’s clinic. Please pray!)
Alayna, keep up the great posts. I will also pray that Haskell will be out of business. God help us!
Um, since the clinic has the deal with the 3 doctors, as required by law, doesn’t that mean they’re not really acting above-the-law as the article states? Complying with the law is not disregarding the law. Actually, it’s kind of the opposite of that, isn’t it?
