It's hard to imagine a more vulnerable group than women who are pregnant and facing difficult choices. The last thing they need is unregulated clinics that are anxious to sell a product that has the ability to severely injure these women.  The current regulations are necessary and appropriate for these facilities.  Any reduction or removal of these regulations would facilitate the operation of "abortion mills" that profit by moving the women through the facilities as quickly as possible, to maximize profit while the welfare of the woman goes disregarded.  In their rush to move women through the process basic medical hygiene and post surgical care are threatened.  We need regulation to ensure that proper methods of treatment are followed and enforced in a timely way so that more women do not suffer as they have in recent years at clinics across America (see Gosnell).

Thank you.
