Health and Safety Standards for Abortion Centers/Clinics
 

We have seen many hundreds of regulatory violations from inspection reports conducted in abortion facilities.  They have shown only a glimpse of the filthy, careless, and dangerous conditions in many of these centers.  Strong regulations that are systematically enforced help ensure some accountability by shedding light into the pervasive darkness of an industry that has proven to care about  profit at the expense of everything or everyone else.  It is essential to keep high health and safety standards for abortion centers/clinics to ensure the safety and welfare of its clients.
