Ohio Supreme Court Rejects Capital Care Network’s Motion to Reconsider

FoundationLifeFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, April 25, 2018 (Toledo, OH): Today, the Ohio Supreme Court announced that it would not reconsider its decision that enforced Ohio’s transfer agreement rules for all Ambulatory Surgical facilities, including abortion mills.

It is imperative that the Ohio Department of Health immediately follow through on its original revocation order against Capital Care Network. Capital Care Network must reapply for a license and pay its $40,000 fine before aborting any more innocent lives.

The Ohio Department of Health is obligated to uphold the rule of law and not give Capital Care Network any further leeway to remain open under any circumstances.

Social Security Questions

erin thompson Nov 2015Question: How do I apply for disability benefits? And, how long does it take to get a decision after I apply for disability benefits?

Answer: You can apply for disability benefits online at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi/apply.html. To get a decision on your disability application usually takes three-to-five months. The time frame can vary depending on

  • The nature of your disability;
  • How quickly we can get your medical evidence from your doctor or other medical sources;
  • Whether it’s necessary to send you for a medical examination; and
  • Whether we review your application for quality purposes.
