Prioritize the Safety of Women
 

It only makes sense to hold clinics that perform surgery to high medical and safety standards.  As we've learned from people like Kermit Gosnell, abortion can be a dangerous and deadly procedure, especially when the places where it is performed are ignored by the government.  Even in clean, safe conditions, things can go wrong with any surgery and these regulations ensure that women are protected in even the unlikeliest of emergencies.
