An abortion clinic in Ohio with a history of safety code violations may be nearing an end to its fight to remain open.

Capital Care Network in Toledo has fought the state health department's attempt to close the facility and now the Ohio Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from the abortuary.

Reacting to the court fight, Ed Sitter of the Foundation for Life says Capital Care Network should be forced to close its doors until it pays fines that now total approximately $40,000.

The owner of the abortion clinic has a June hearing to appeal the fines.

After failing to acquire a transfer agreement, the abortion clinic has since obtained one with ProMedica Toledo Hospital. But it will have to go through the licensing process once again.

"But it's not a done deal," Sitter advises. "It's not a slam dunk that they would automatically be approved for a license because this facility has had numerous, over the years, health and safety violations. And as a result of that there's plenty of evidence and plenty of reasons to deny them a license."
