A Wichita abortion clinic has been told to stop using La Quinta Corp. hotel rooms to perform medical services and to stop using the hotel's name in information about the clinic.

La Quinta Corp., based in Irving, Texas, notified the Women's Health Care Services of its requests after an investigation prompted by complaints from the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. Operation Rescue was told by a woman who had an abortion last year that the clinic used La Quinta for women who were having abortions, said Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue.

Sullenger said the women would check into the hotel on Monday, then go to the clinic to terminate the pregnancy and induce labor. The women then returned to the hotel, where nurses would check their condition over the next couple of days as contractions intensified.

Members of Operation Rescue protested in front of a La Quinta hotel in Wichita last month during events linked to the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
