Regulations and Safety
 

Very important to have safety regulations at abortion clinics or any other clinics. As a nurse I understand regulations. We need to protect and educate all involved including patients. Without regulations patients/clients are not protected and should an emergency situation occur, client could be injured or even die. Staff members of clinic should be educated so they know risks and dangers.  Should the birth of fetus be such that it is a live birth, that too should be addressed. Not only physical  but mental and emotional damage can occur.
