Protect Women from the Dangers of Abortion
 

Please put patients first and value their lives and quality of lives by 1) mandating that abortion providers give women accurate, unbiased information about abortion and its physical and emotional risks prior to rhe procedure, 2) mandating safety regulations for all environments where abortions are provided, 3) having ample anesthesia and defibrillators on-hand, 4) sterilized equipment and facilities, 5) creating AND enforcing policies for emergency medical needs of patients, and 6) having well trained staffs who follow strict safety regulations including aforementioned procedures for medical emergencies and abusive situations. I absolutely cannot fathom why abortions are legally administered without a requirement of the same types of strict rules and regulations that regular (real) medical care (when life is prolonged instead of ended) is provided within. Abortion is wrong and a sick practice, but as long as it is legalized please at least protect the women who seek abortions from any additional danger beyond the risks already posed to women by by the cruel, inhumane procedure. Abortion is never safe and hurts women. To allow it is to endanger women. Life is precious whether you agree or not.
