Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion provider that rakes in more than half a billion a year from American taxpayers, is suing to keep their clinics from being inspected annually.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky is suing the state over a new law requiring annual inspections of abortion clinics, saying the mandate is "unconstitutional." From the Associated Press:

The federal suit — the latest of several filed in recent years challenging abortion restrictions passed by Indiana lawmakers — contends that the reporting rules and a separate provision requiring annual inspections of abortion clinics are both unconstitutional because they target only abortions and abortion providers and not other procedures or clinics.

…“Once again Indiana politicians are barging into the exam room with irrational demands and intrusive requirements,” said Jane Henegar, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which filed the suit on behalf of Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky

“Irrational demands”? What’s so irrational about requiring a clinic that specializes in deliberately triggering miscarriages or carving unborn children into pieces with scalpels to be inspected for health code standards once a year?

After all, if your clinics are so spotless and wonderful, why not just allow the inspections?

Probably because of the organization’s history of janky clinics that couldn’t pass a basic walk-through if the inspector was drunk and blind.

Like this clinic in St. Louis, where inspectors found 210 violations in 39 categories, most of which were related to sanitation.

Or this one in Birmingham where officials found multiple infection control issues.

Or this one in Pennsylvania that failed multiple inspections in a row.

Or this one in Kalamazoo, where a woman died after having an abortion.

I could keep listing, but I don’t have all day.

It makes sense that Planned Parenthood wouldn’t want to subject their own clinics to routine health checks, given their pretty abysmal track record of providing a safe and clean environment for their patients.

What doesn’t make sense is that anyone still buys into their crap.
