There are unethical, unsanitary abortion clinics who make false claims? Says who?

A prolife pregnancy center? A prolife group?

How about another abortion clinic?

The web page of Liberty Women's Health Care notes on a number of pages how their abortion clinic is safer than some other "unethical" clinics.

In their "safer abortion overview" page they warn women, "Please beware of some unethical clinics that falsely claim to do surgical abortions at 3 weeks, which is definitely not safe to attempt, since the pregnancy cannot be seen at 3 weeks."

They also say, "We use only sterilized surgical instruments and sterile, one-use-only, disposable plastic uterine curettes, unlike some unsanitary "bargain" clinics that reuse these curettes and do not practice safety, cleanliness, and sterility." (my emphasis)

When talking about second trimester abortions, Liberty's web page notes, (my emphasis)
We use only sterilized surgical instruments and sterile, one-use-only, disposable plastic uterine curettes. In order to increase the safety for our patients, we always use ultrasound guidance during every second trimester abortion, rather than doing the abortion blindly, which is commonly done at other facilities and which is far more dangerous. We take an additional step and do a post-operative ultrasound exam of the uterus at the end of every abortion to further ensure the safety of the patient and the successful completion of the procedure. Other facilities do not do this.
