Activists pack license hearing for Ohio abortion clinic

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Anti-abortion activists packed a hearing to determine the fate of an Ohio abortion clinic's license on Tuesday as the facility's operators argued they are meeting emergency requirements laid out in a 2013 law that has contributed to clinic closures around the state.

Women's Medical Center of Dayton has been grappling with Ohio's evolving licensing requirements for abortion providers for more than a decade. Attorney Jennifer Branch said the clinic planned to argue it has a plan for transferring patients when emergencies occur that is safe and complies with Ohio law.

State Health Director Rick Hodges twice last year denied the facility's applications for an exception to a state law requiring it to have a patient-transfer agreement with an area hospital for emergencies. The first request identified two backup doctors for such cases; the amended request identified three.

Hodges' rejection of Women's Med's variance requests followed a series of operating restrictions on ambulatory surgical facilities, which include abortion clinics, that were added to the 2013 budget bill.
