women's health centers
 

Re the temporary regulations on women's health centers, these regulations are medically inappropriate and medically unnecessary.  These women's health centers have an impressive safety record.  Overregulatrion will restrict access to many services such as cancer screenings, family planning and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. For many poor women these health centers are the only place they can go for these services.

Please amend these regulations to be based purely on medicine and science, and not on policical or religious objectives.
