Standards for Abortion Clinics
 

It is hard to believe that there should be any discussion over what the needs are in an Abortion Clinic.  It is a serious medical proceedure that takes the life of an unborn baby and in a number of cases, even the mother.  The requirements fo these clinics ought to be the same as a hospital.  Lives are in danger; absolute cleanliness is a must; to do less than that is to intenionally jeapordize the health of the mother as you eliminate the life of her child.  A surgical proceedure done in a hospital is totally steril and the hospital can be sued if not that way.  Clinics ought to be the same.  There ought to be one standard fo all medical clinics that do surgery of any nature.
