Firm Foundation

Judge Moore’s WorldNetDaily.com column this week highlights the inherently dangerous business of abortion clinics and the recent spate of abortion clinic closings in Alabama and Florida. (See previous blog posts on abortion clinics here and here.) Two clinics in Alabama and five in Florida were closed within the past two months for violations of health standards. Judge Moore and other pro-life leaders in Alabama are leading the effort to tighten Alabama’s health code standards, inspections, and enforcement for its remaining eight abortion clinics.

According to Judge Moore:

Thomas Jefferson identified “the first and only legitimate object of good government” to be “[t]he care of human life and happiness and not their destruction.”

Toward that object of good government, Judge Moore gives some concrete measures that state officials can take to strengthen abortion clinic standards, which are bizarrely lax and unenforced in many states. Ultimately, Judge Moore and the Foundation would like to see all abortion clinics shut down for the inherently dangerous—and deadly—businesses that they are.
