Abortion rights advocates have long maintained that abortion clinics are safe and that their procedures are no more invasive or dangerous than dental surgery or colonoscopies. Virginia recently passed regulations requiring abortion clinics to have wider hallways and doorways, expanded parking and entrance awnings. Supporters said the changes ensure the safety of women undergoing abortions. Opponents said the measure was a veiled attempt to shutter them.
“NOVA Women’s Healthcare provided medical services to thousands of women,” Yarmosky said. “It was the largest abortion provider, but thousands of women also relied on them for birth control and other health care, and they went to NOVA because they could not afford care otherwise. Now they are left without their trusted health-care provider, in part due to politicians. It’s definitely a loss.”

Some insurance companies cover abortion, some don’t. If a policy does cover abortion the premiums would be slightly higher, just as it would be for any other ‘covered’ procedure. (Or at least that is how it used to work until very recently)
Taxpayers also subsidize abortion, albeit indirectly.
But mostly it’s a cash business and a very lucrative one.
Most women’s ‘healthcare’ clinics could not stay in business without abortion.
In April, Eaton Place sued NOVA in Fairfax General District Court for failure to pay $95,000 in back rent. In June, NOVA agreed to pay the back rent and surrender the space, court records show.This clinic apparently didn't pay it's lease. And in fact, they had previously settled a suit which, as part of the suit, they no longer had the right to renew their lease (the business was sold, and the new owner needed to sign a new lease, but instead took a sublease which violated the lease agreement).
Another interesting fact buried on the second page, which makes you wonder what they were doing to the poor women who went to this office:
In addition, the filings said, NOVA clients had been seen regularly inside the building “lying down in corridors . . . and, in some instances, even vomiting.” One filing said witnesses would testify that this was a daily occurrence.If you are going to run a business of "health care", you really need to have the room in your facility to properly care for your patients, not send them out in the hallway to lie down and throw up.
Thanks for the ping!
