Friday will be the first public hearing on new rules put forth by the Department of Health and Human Services to increase the accountability at abortion clinics. Planned Parenthood in NC, NARAL Pro-Choice NC, ACLU-NC, NC Women United, NC NOW, and NC Women Matter will be present at Friday’s 9:00 a.m. hearing on the Dorothea Dix Campus.
The proposed amendments and adoptions of rules in Chapter 10A NCAC 14E Certifications of Clinics for Abortion are in response to enactment of Session Law 2013-366 s.4(c), Part IV. Amend Women's Right to Know Act, which became effective on July 29, 2013. This act requires the Department of Health and Human Services to amend rules pertaining to clinics certified by the Department to be suitable facilities for the performance of abortions under G.S. 14-45.1
