Stop Beaurocratic Regulation-
 

Licensed Health Care Professionals strive to provide safe and effective care to the public.  We do not require politicallly motivated external regulation in order to accomplish the sacred job to which we have dedicated our lives.

This set of "standards" is being rammed down our throats by those with ulterior motives, namely, to force shut down of women's reproductive health care facilities that provide excellent and necessary care to the public as they are.  We all need protection from those who seek to twist verbage and concepts to serve their own interest.

Cease efforts to acquiese to those with loud mouths shouting "Protect women"; an abortion is decided upon, by a woman and her doctor, with sufficient agony already.  Overregulation in our health care system is running rampant and driving up the cost of healthcare for all of us.  A cost that is more than financial.
