Please continue to require sanitation and safety
 

Board of Health,

Please continue to uphold the requirements for abortionclinics to provide a sanitary and safe environment for women. Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis in the 19th century provided the key tothe horrifying mortality rates of pregnant women in doctorswards. Acceptance of his methods were long delayed for variousreasons. Today, we face a similar conflict between politicalpower and money versus the best health interests of women. It isdocumented fact that some abortion clinics are grosslyunsanitary and dangerous to women. Obviously regulation isnecessary to eliminate this. Please uphold these regulations. Olaf Pors
