Only abortion provider left in Tennessee's capital suspends abortion services

[Swordsmyth]

The only remaining abortion clinic in Tennessee's capital has ceased offering abortions, instead referring patients to clinics 200 miles away in Knoxville and Memphis. Officials with Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, which operates the north Nashville clinic, could not say when its clinic would resume abortions. The organization has a shortage of physicians to do the procedure, a spokeswoman said.
The clinic also "undergoing a period of quality improvement and will return with these services soon," a statement said. It is the second clinic in Nashville to stop abortions this year.
The Women's Center closed in August after the sale of its building, and its operators said then they hoped to reopen. No target date was set, and its reopening has not happened yet.

Please do not think that PP was the only abortion provider in Nashville. Hospitals still do them.

That seems right to me . They would only deny someone if they were so young to need parental consent ?

And abortion has only been put on hold. The clinic is still open.

My guess is that something went horribly wrong at the clinic and there is some kind of investigation going on. Supposedly they don’t have enough doctors.

It may well be that public pressure on doctors has been brought to bear and they are not volunteering any more.

Bigger vacuums.

Or destroying evidence.
