Uphold current clinic regulations
 

Part of the argument put forth to legitimize abortion was that so-called "back alley abortions" were dangerous to women. Failing to maintain minimum standards of safety defies the contention that caring for women is at the heart of the pro-abortion philosophy. If there must be regulations concerning how a girl gets her ears pierced, should there not be equally stringent rules in place to protect during a much more involved process" What woman would accept health care of questionable medical standards for any other issue" Why should abortion providers be less susceptible to logical expectations of safety precaution and preparation" Please do not be misled by arguments dealing with fatuous aspects of the issue. Keep and uphold the regulations that require sound expectations of the conditions in those cases just as you would with any other medical provider.
