A well-known abortion chain has announced plans to close its facilities in Kettering and Indianapolis in Indiana, and well as its location in Dayton, Ohio. Women’s Med Center announced the closures in response to pro-life laws passed in both states, though it is fighting to have the laws blocked so the facilities can remain open.
Martin Haskell, the inventor of the D&X ‘partial-birth’ abortion method and the medical director at Women’s Med Center, said in a press release given to the Dayton Daily News that they are filing a lawsuit to challenge the laws. “Women’s Med has provided personalized, high-quality abortion care to Hoosiers for over 20 years,” he said. “Unlike Indiana politicians, our physicians are dedicated to the welfare of our patients, meeting them where they are with compassion and respect. Without a court order, we will no longer be able to provide this essential care to our patients. That is simply unacceptable.”
The laws protecting preborn children in Indiana will take effect on September 15, barring potential legal challenges. If this happens, Women’s Med Center facilities in Kettering and Indianapolis will close. In Ohio, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the Dayton facility faces closure along the same time frame in Ohio.

“We are going to see as many people and do as much for these people as we can until we close down,” Jeanne Corwin, an abortionist working for Women’s Med Center, said. She further added in an interview with the Dayton Daily News, “We all know about the dramatic cases, and they are dramatic and they’re terrible and they’re real. But what about the non-dramatic cases where not ending a pregnancy changes the trajectory of that entire person’s life in a negative direction and they can never get past that.”
If Women’s Med Center in Dayton closes, there will no longer be an abortion facility in the city. Women’s Med Center, along with Planned Parenthood, has filed lawsuits in a last-ditch effort to remain open. “If we are successful legally and are able to keep Indiana open, we will also continue in Ohio,” a spokesperson said.
According to Haskell’s description of the D&X procedure he invented, a baby is turned to the breech position and the extremities are delivered, before the rest of the body is pulled into the birth canal and delivered, except for the head. The abortionist then punctures the base of the baby’s neck, and uses powerful suction to remove the baby’s brain and collapse the skull.
Though abortion advocates claim this procedure doesn’t take place due to a federal ban, undercover videos have shown that abortionists resort to partial-birth abortions as a way of better harvesting fetal organs and body parts to sell.
Women’s Med Center has a history of injuring women, with numerous botched abortions sending women to the hospital.
