Abortion is a surgical procedure & sanitary condition is a must!
 

Staph infection is a real possibility every time you go to the hospital.  You enter the hospital for something as minor as a cut on your finger, but if you are unfortunate enough to contract staph bacteria from a dirty waiting room, you could end up fighting for your life.  There is a reason why there are high cleansiness requirements for hospitals, especially in areas where blood and cuts are prevalent like the surgery or birth rooms.  Cuts and blood create a favorable environment for infections and all sorts of disease transmissions like hepatitis-C.  So, why abortion centers do not have the same sanitary requirements like hospital operating room?  Do you not have cuts and blood involved in an abortion procedure?
