Please uphold abortion safety regulations
 

How many parents would want their daughters risking their lives at abortion clinics that practice in unsanitary and unsafe conditions?  The track record clearly indicates that before the regulations were passed in 2012,  the Department of Health discovered many instances of  health violations in abortion clinics.  Since we live in the United States and not a third world country and since other types of medical care are required to maintain a high level of sanitary medical practices, the abortion industry should not be an exception.  To make such an exception represents a double standard and a lack of sound judgment in protecting the health of women.   I am urging you to uphold the current abortion safety regulations.
