BREAKING: AOT Files OSHA Complaint Against Franz Theard After Clinic Staff Dies Of Covid-19
Updated: May 15, 2021
On Monday, December 7th, 2020, Abortion On Trial Executive Director, Jamie Jeffries, filed an OSHA complaint against abortion provider Franz Theard, and his facility, Women's Reproductive Clinic of Sunland Park, after confirming that the facility's nurse manager had died after contracting Covid-19. In Addition to the death of his manager, Gloria Martinez, Dr. Theard himself was recently in the ICU being treated for Covid-19.
The OSHA complaint points out that despite New Mexico's current protocols and legal requirements for employers to report a Covid-19 case within 4 hours, Franz Theard failed to do so. In fact, public records and inspection requests show there was no report of the outbreak at the Women's Reproductive Clinic of Sunland Park to DOH or OSHA. The complaint letter states, "Women's Reproductive Center of Sunland Park is engaging in dangerous practices which have left one employee dead and another one in the ICU due to the contraction of Covid-19. The clinic has failed to report this as required by law."
