Prolife Bus takes effect

On March 31, legislation to regulate abortion clinics in the state of Michigan took effect.  The legislation requires abortion clinics who perform more than 120 abortion a year and publicly advertise to be licensed by the state and be inspected.  Currently, only a small percentage of Michigan's abortion clinics are licensed and inspected.

Of Michigan's 32 clinics that offer surgical abortions, four have licenses. The state estimates 16 more abortion providers need to be licensed as freestanding outpatient surgical facilities under the law because they perform at least 120 abortions a year. Licensure brings annual inspections and a $238 yearly fee, though facilities can avoid licensure if they stop publicly advertising abortion services.
