The 52-page report notes that most of Michigan's abortion clinics are not in compliance with dozens of state laws or regulations. The report also cites a vital need for oversight and enforcement on the part of Michigan agencies charged with holding health providers and facilities to account.
There is a history of abortion clinic abuses including:
- violation of bio-hazard waste disposal and medical record privacy laws
- negligent operative and post-operative practices that have resulted in patient injury and death
- refusal to release medical records for patient use and patient follow-up care
- failure to report abortion complications to the state
- violation of state controlled substance regulations for drug storage and administration
- failure to ensure sterile, sanitary surgical equipment and sterile operative environment
- violation of informed consent for abortion law
- performance of abortions past the point of viability without documentation of maternal health reason
