The Horrors of Under-Regulation in Abortion and Fertility Clinics
Investigations into a notorious Philadelphia abortion clinic revealed appalling conditions, leading to accusations of murder against its operator, Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Authorities found the remains of 47 children and witnessed a complete lack of oversight, suggesting that similar standards did not apply to abortion clinics as they did to other businesses. The example highlights a broader ethical issue in the fertility industry, where incidents of under-regulation allow disturbing practices to emerge without adequate scrutiny. Such cases, including a man gaining custody of children through questionable means, emphasize the urgent need for stricter regulations to uphold ethical standards in reproductive health.
