Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

No Matter how you feel about abortion, I have yet to understand why a woman who is having a miscarriage and requires surgery for a D& C (dilation and curettage) has access to a surgery center that meets all safety regulations and a woman seeking an abortion does not have access to a center that meets all safety regulations. Both are an invasive surgery requiring the best medical care we can give to each patient, no matter what their circumstances. Please protect the abortion center regulations for the safety of all women. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Karen Lahr
