DAYTON, Ohio -- Dayton’s only abortion clinic loses its license, but now the clinic is taking steps to keep its doors open.The Dayton Women’s Health Clinic’s license was revoked on Feb. 14. The Ohio Department of Health said the clinic did not have a written transfer agreement with a local hospital to accept patients who have emergency complications, as required by state regulations.In his order, U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley of Columbus noted that some clinic patients had already taken a pre-abortion drug. He said shutting down the facility abruptly would put them at risk of infection or other injury.The facility then filed a temporary restraining order to remain open. The order allows the clinic to continue operating until a federal hearing takes place sometime in the next two weeks.
