Gov. Bobby Jindal signs law that could close all but one of Louisiana’s abortion clinics http://t.co/XA5p3qLkfb

The “Unsafe Abortion Protection Act” will require that any doctor who performs more than five abortions per year “have active admitting privileges at a hospital that is located not further than thirty miles from the location at which the abortion is performed or induced and that provides obstetrical or gynecological health care services.”

Jindal said the law “will give women the health and safety protections they deserve, and continue to make Louisiana a state that values individual human life.”

However, the admission privileges the new law requires doctors to have are difficult to come by, because they are largely business decisions based on how many beds a doctor can fill. Because of the low rate of complications associated with abortions, it is difficult for abortion providers to meet the minimum number of admissions required to obtain the privilege.
