Board of Health,

Current regulations governing the surprisingly under-regulated industry of abortion exist to protect patients from well-documented unsanitary conditions that were widespread, yet previously ignored, at clinics - conditions such as unclean needles, blood-splattered tables, absence of facilities for quick transfer of emergency cases to hospitals.If "pro-lifers" are more concerned about these conditions than "pro-choicers," thats a sad fact about todays abortion politics. "Pro-choicers" should be leading the way to keep abortion safe, not fighting others efforts to do so. Be that as it may, the regulations are life-saving no matter what one understands by "life," and I urge that they be kept in place. David M. Wagner, atty.
