Please retain and enforce regulations for abortion facilities for the sake of public safety
 

These common-sense standards were enacted to protect women from exploitation by abortionists that would profit by cutting corners on women's heallth.  Those who can't or won't comply with the law should rightfully be shut down.  These regulations provide a service to women by weeding out abortionists who operate using substandard practices.  It is just wrong to ask women to suck it up and tolerate shoddy facilities where conditions and providers are little better than what was found in the Back Alley prior to Roe.  The regulations add a necessary layer of accountability to a previously unaccountable and out-of-control industry that is rife with abuses.  Please retain and enforce the regulations that apply to abortion facilities for the sake of public safety!
