Another week and more proof that abortion facilities in Pennsylvania are shortchanging women’s health.
The latest example comes from the Planned Parenthood in York, Pennsylvania, which recently failed inspection by the state Department of Health.
An inspection report dated March 19, 2025, shows that the facility was not in compliance with Pennsylvania law.
According to the report, “Each medical facility shall have readily available equipment and drugs necessary for resuscitation.”

If local anesthesia is used to perform an abortion during the first trimester, a number of pieces of equipment must be ready for use to resuscitate. These include a suction source, oxygen source, assorted size oral airways, a laryngoscope, bag and mask for assisted ventilation, intravenous fluids, intravenous catheters, and emergency drugs for shock. An individual must also be on hand to monitor respiratory rates, blood pressure, and heart rates.
But, based on observation and an interview with staff, health inspectors determined that Planned Parenthood York “failed to have all required equipment available for resuscitative services.”
In addition, based on observation, a review of facility policy, and an interview with staff, regulators found that the abortion center “failed to complete Automated External Defibrillator (AED) checks to ensure the equipment was operating properly.”
Once again, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion operation, is undermining the health and safety of women through its negligence. The women of Pennsylvania deserve better.
