I cannot agree that wherever late-term abortions are permitted there will always be these sorts of problems. Dr. Tiller was never accused of this kind of egregious violation and I have to believe he was vigorously inspected.
No, Tiller just allowed the babies to crown and then shoved foreceps through their skulls, waited until the death tremors ceased and then pieced the child - certainly nothing heinous there. And there is no "vigorous" inspection. I'm sure his cleanliness practice was inspected, but inspections as to procedure are blocked and easy to get around where not.
There were also multiple complaints by other doctors who believe their patients were infected with STD's at Gosnell's clinic. He was suspected of bad medical practice and the authorities receiving the complaints, obviously did nothing. New laws were passed and went into effect in 2011. Inspections are now taking place and five more clinics are closed, though it's not clear why.

That's good to hear. However, you must see that it took outrageous behavior to get this notice. The wheel had to be extra squeeky to get the grease. Had he been just a little better about cleanliness, he'd still be going at it.
