Illegal Texas Abortion Clinic Closed, Abortionist's License Suspended
February 15, 2014
 Houston, TX - The Texas Medical Board has suspended the medical license of abortionist Theodore M. Herring
for conducting 268 abortions illegally without having the required
privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of his Houston abortion clinic,
which was ordered closed by the Texas Department of State Health
Services.
According to TMB documents,
Herring failed to even apply for hospital privileges after the passage
of highly publicized abortion clinic safety law that was passed last
year. The violation was discovered during an inspection at Herring's A Affordable Women's Medical Center abortion clinic on December 11, 2013.
"The
clinic regulations in Texas are successfully working to shut down
seedy abortion operations that are operating illegally and posing a
danger to the public. When abortion clinics close, lives are saved.
It couldn't be clearer how much this law is necessary in order to
protect women and babies from predatory and dangerous abortionists,"
said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. "We continue to urge
the passage of similar laws in every state."
