Rick Perry, Joan Rivers, and clinic regulations
by Carder
Of course, Rick Perry isn’t really saying he truly thinks an abortion law like Texas’ actually might have saved Joan Rivers’ life. Even Rick Perry is smarter than to say something like that out loud.
All he’s saying is that if Joan Rivers had had the benefit of the kinds of regulations Texas has imposed on all abortion facilities at the place when she was getting her procedure done — say, if Rivers had her surgery in a clinic that adhered to the minimum standards of ambulatory surgical centers, or if Rivers’ doctor had admitting privileges at a nearby hospital — she would still be alive today.
That’s all, y’all. Just ole’ Gov Perry speakin’ metaphorically, like. Makin’ intellectual connections between seemingly unrelated issues.

It ain’t just Mr. Perry, Andrea.
Everybody is saying that.

“Everybody is saying that.”
Well, all the cool people anyways.
Wow, nice mocking of Southerners in her post. She’s so classy, she just couldn’t resist.
Hmm… if any of you care to read Andrea’s screed (and don’t bother, if you don’t want to. It’s not edifying), she gives a shout-out to Jill’s blog.
Simple fact is: The abortionists chose to shut down, rather than comply with standards of care.
Andrea: You can blame the public for demanding standard medical care. You can blame Republicans for representing the public. You can blame Jill for reporting the news.
But you ought to point your blame-finger at those shoddy abortionists who refused to provide adequate care to women seeking abortions.
Their money, their choice. You didn’t like their choice. All the public did was remove the despicable practice of shoddy care…. no more Gosnells and Karpens.
“if any of you care to read Andrea’s screed (and don’t bother, if you don’t want to. It’s not edifying)”
Okay, I think I’ll pass on it then.

Two questions, Del.
1). Did the clinic where Ms. Rivers had her procedure meet the minimum standards of an ambulatory surgical center?
2). Did her doctor have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital?
Another question concerning Joan Rivers. Exactly what happened? Was it equipment failure, lack of proper equipment, human carelessness? Did she die of natural causes?
I can think of a number of possibilities, but that’s all they are until we have some solid facts.
