Abortions are no more dangerous than services provided at a dentist's, orthodontist's, or plastic surgeon's office. In fact, first trimester abortions are far less dangerous than any procedure involving anesthesia, such as oral surgery or liposuction. If these regulations are really so important to patient health, they should be applied uniformly.

If they are not important to patient health, they are a biased attempt to restrict access to a legal medical procedure, and should be striken from law.
