BIRMINGHAM, February 15, 2013, (Operation Rescue) – Efforts to license and reopen the New Woman All Women abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, which was closed for numerous health and safety violations last year after pro-life groups reported it to the authorities, have been denied for the second time.

Allison Aranda of Life Legal Defense Foundation, informed Operation Rescue, CEC for Life, and other pro-life groups this week that an application for clinic licensure submitted by Kelly Rain-Water was denied by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) after Rain-Water missed a January deadline for submission of additional documents.

The abortion clinic was forced to close after pro-life activists documented two abortion patients being hand-carried by emergency workers down broken back steps to gurneys waiting in a trash-strewn alley on January 21, 2012, and filed complaints with the ADPH.
