October 22, 2009 - Ohio late-term abortionist Martin Haskell practices in Cincinnati, Dayton and elsewhere. As far as we know, late-term abortions are not done at his Cincinnati abortion mill--The Women's Med Center on Jefferson Ave. near the University of Cincinnati--but are done in Dayton.
Martin Haskell pioneered the late-term partial-birth abortion procedure, which has been outlawed under the federal Partial Birth Abortion Ban. The Partial Birth Abortion Ban stopped this one late-term abortion procedure, but other late-term methods are used since abortion is legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy in this country.
Operation Rescue has researched Martin Haskell, and the questionable reasons why he is able to continue to practice. See LifeNews.com story:
Late-Term Abortionist Martin Haskell Allowed to Avoid Ohio Abortion Safety Law
Operation Rescue has obtained two recordings of 9-1-1 calls made within seven days of each other for patients of an Ohio abortion clinic that has been specially exempted from complying with a safety law involving emergency transports. The recordings, made on March 12 and 19, 2009, raise questions about the safety of the clinic and abortions done at Women's Med Center, a Dayton area abortion mill owned and operated by late-term abortionist Martin Haskell. But how is it that, of all the physicians and clinics in Ohio, that Haskell's abortion clinic is the only one that does not have to comport with the law? To answer that question, one must go back to 1996, when the Ohio Legislature passed a law requiring that all ambulatory surgical centers must be licensed by the state. That licensing required that the ambulatory surgical centers meet certain basic health and safety standards, including the requirement that each clinic must have a transfer agreement with a local hospital.
