Get this (if you can …)

Kansas City abortion clinic closed as grisly house of horrors …

“ … With Rajanna's case pending, abortion opponents won legislative approval of a bill requiring abortion clinics to obtain an annual license from the Department of Health and Environment, hire surgeons as their medical directors and report patient deaths to the state within a day. The measure also mandated that the department set standards for equipment, medical screenings, ventilation and lighting.

“But Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, an abortion-rights advocate, vetoed the measure, saying medical professionals – not legislators – should set standards.”

I can’t believe a state legislature would try to demand such unreasonable things of an abortion clinic. I cannot fathom why anyone would suggest an abortion clinic actually be required to get a license from the Dept. of Health. C’mon! How outrageous is that?!

Maybe it's just because the more regulated and "official" and approved it is they easier they can justify it in their own minds?
