You still haven't answered the basic question but what else is new. The changes made no difference in Texas
On the contrary, they did. 200 TX women per year are admitted to the ER with complications from abortions. 200 women are enough to require the same surgery center standards of facilities that perform surgical abortions on women.
Why are abortion clinics needed to dispense pills. Why can't a doctor's office do that? And how can they dispense pills when Brigham's medical license has been suspended?

Admitted to a hospital several days after the abortion, not at the clinic.

Not always. As with any surgical procedure, complications requiring immediate emergency care can and do happen. There is no such thing as a 100% safe surgical procedure that has no complications whatsoever. You'd be foolish to think so.
78.1% of all reported abortions in 2012 were accomplished by surgical procedure: curettage (which includes dilation and evacuation). Most curettage abortions are suction procedures.
Medical abortions made up 21.9% of all abortions reported in 2012.
As the vast majority of abortions are surgical procedures, ambulatory surgery standards ARE necessary. The SCOTUS ruling sets a horrible legal precedent that it's OK to provide substandard health care to women.

Well that's exactly the point you don't have any examples of that occurring, so what was the problem they were addressing. I don't expect an answer because you can't produce even one instance requiring immediate medical care to that level yet you feel the need for HB2 because it might happen.
Go to pages 47 & 48 of the oral argument as that was the question posed to the lawyer representing Texas.

I just did: The 911 call from Houston's PP regarding the woman's perforated uterus.
Additionally, I just posted CDC stats showing that nearly 80% of all abortions are SURGICAL procedures. There's absolutely NO reason whatsoever to not require such providers to meet ambulatory surgery center standards.

One youtube video, please. Do you have an article surrounding the details, I'm guessing the Life News since the lawyer missed this one.
So this one incident in Texas was sufficient to pass HB2, seriously.
