 “This is a good example of how laws that regulate abortion

clinics and regulate the practice of abortion save babies.” ~

Life Dynamics president, Mark Crutcher.

Life Dynamics has confirmed that another abortion clinic has closed

due to pro-life legislation. The Killeen Women's Health Center justannounced that they have been unable to obtain hospital privilegesand will therefore temporarily close their killing center. 

Unfortunately, the clinic still schedules abortions in their Austinlocation where they claim that abortionist  Andrew Evan Massman haslocal privileges.

 A sign on the door the abortion clinic and posted on Texas Alliance forLife's Facebook page reads, "Our office is currently closed."

Last month, Life Dynamics reported that a Dallas abortion clinicindicated that they will no longer be killing unborn children due tonew pro-life laws passed by the Texas legislature. 

The Northpark Medical Group abortion clinic in Dallas has stated thatthey are not accepting any patients at this time because theirphysicians cannot obtain local hospital admitting privileges. The clinicis part of a chain of abortion clinics which performs abortions on aregular basis.

In July, Texas passed HB2 requiring abortion doctors to have hospitaladmitting privileges within 30 miles of the abortion clinic. Because Northparkabortionists could not get hospital privileges, the center is unable to scheduleor see any patients. 

LIFE DYNAMICS WARNS HOSPITALS Life Dynamics Inc., a national pro-life organization located in DentonTexas, recently contacted members of the Texas medical community to

 warn them that the abortion lobby is trying to recruit doctorsfollowing changes in Texas law requiring doctors who work at abortionclinics to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. 

Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics explains, “What we did iscreated a post card called Hired Killers. This postcard is designed todiscourage doctors from getting involved in abortion. We sent one ofthese to every doctor’s office in Texas. What we are trying to do iskeep the waters stirred because what the abortion industry wants isto recruit these guys and tell them, you can just slide in and you don’thave to raise a big ruckus about it. We’re making sure that these

doctors understand, there will be a ruckus and this is just the firstshot of the ruckus that’s coming. 

“The second thing we did was send a letter to every hospitaladministrator in Texas. It’s designed to discourage them fromgranting privileges and be on the lookout for new doctors filing forhospital privileges who are not telling them they are working in anabortion clinic. Before you let them in, you better ask them if they areworking in abortion because you don’t want to drag this hospital intothe abortion controversy.”

The campaign appears to be working given the recent clinic closings. 

 According to Life Dynamics president, Mark Crutcher, "This is a goodexample of how laws that regulate abortion clinics and regulate the

 practice of abortion save babies. When HB 2 was passed here inTexas, immediately, I mean literally within days, one-third of all theabortion clinics closed. And they continue t o close. And now we’re upover one-half. Half of the abortion clinics that existed on the day that

 HB2 was passed are now gone. .Now, you’ve had federal courtsuphold it as Constitutional, and the pro-aborts are scared to push itto the Supreme Court, because if they push it to the Supreme Courtand they uphold it then this will be a problem for them nationally.

 Even the pro-aborts are saying that they can’t meet these standards.

 Nobody wants to have these abortionists working on their hospitalstaffs or giving them privileges."  

 ABORTION INDUSTRY ALARMED 

Now that abortion clinics are closing, the abortion lobby is becomingalarmed. Think Progress, a left-wing blog, has just posted an entire

article exposing what they believe are ways that pro-life people have been instrumental in stopping abortionists from gaining hospitaladmitting privileges.

In the article, entitled,  Anti-Abortion Protesters Are Coming To A Hospital Near You., authors highlight Life Dynamics's mailers.

The radically pro-abortion blog writes, " In Texas, where the state’sendangered clinics are struggling to stay open, the anti-abortion

organization  Life Dynamics has put together a campaign notifying hospitals

that offering admitting privileges to any abortion-providing doctors could be

bad for them in some mysterious, unnamed way. The letters addressed to

every hospital in the state don’t specify what exactly the facilities will

experience if they do provide access for a doctor. But there are a number of

different ways to target a hospital in order to cut off access to legal abortion.

Other examples from around the country make it clear that these institutions

may experience protests, picketing, and outright harassment of their medical

 staff and their executives."  

Following the original announcement released by  Life

Dynamics  about our direct mail campaign, pro-choicers on socialmedia began lashing out.

The radically pro-abortion RH Reality Check blog responded byposting a headline which reads, “ Anti-Choice Group Sends Graphic

 Mailers Comparing Abortion Providers to ‘Hired Killers’ “

NARAL Pro-choice America responded by posting an image of ourHospital letter on Facebook along with scribbled comments.

Friends on NARAL’s Facebook page even admitted to calling LifeDynamics to express their views and posted, “The anti’s are utterlyruthless, they will stop at nothing.” 

 Another pro-choice "friend" of the abortion lobby wrote,“Unfortunately, this will work because of religious peer pressure.”  

One pro-choice supporter accused Life Dynamics of trying to sabotagethe campaign of radically pro-abortion Wendy Davis who is runningfor Governor of Texas. 

 While another posted, “These people need to be outed.”

Crutcher said he sent the post cards to reinforce tophysicians that, “  Elective abortions are not healthcare andhave nothing to do with the practice of medicine. They arecontract killings.”

 According to, Crutcher “ If a doctor or hospital is going toget sucked into the abortion vortex, at least they will knowwhat they are doing.”  Crutcher says that the reason abortionists do not have hospitaladmitting privileges is because , “The competence and character of

 practitioners who work at abortion clinics is inevitably substandardand hospitals don’t want to have their reputations d amaged by thestigma that accompanies both abortion and the people who do them.

 In addition, Hospitals realize that any link to abortion creates the possibility of protests and boycotts and may cause some patients and physicians to reject the hospital.”  

“ Fortunately, the kind of monsters who are willing to snuff-outinnocent and defenseless human lives for money are rare. This letterand these postcards will guarantee that any doctor or hospital thatgets sucked in by the lies of the abortion industry will do so with theireyes wide open.”
