Regulations re abortion providers
 

I would like to state that I am strongly opposed to the proposed regulations.  These regulations have been shown to be unnecessary (by doctors) and are a great hardship on the clinics that strive to help women, especially poor women, get the prenatal and other health care they need.  I believe this is merely a move to make abortion harder to obtain.  These clinics have a long record of safety.  I am greatly dismayed that the lawmakers would ignore the recommendations of people who really know about this ( like health care providers) and would get so involved in women's private lives.
