This doctor wasn't running a legit clinic in the first place though, correct? Illegal clinics are illegal now and would be just as illegal under further restrictions, but still, obviously, exist either way. How would adding additional regulation to legal clinics prevent the illegality of what this guy was doing already?
In short, he was already breaking the law, I'm not sure making a new law would actually do anything but make abortion harder to access, which then makes people more likely to seek out this sort of doctor in the first place.
