Uphold the standards; protect health of all women
 

It unconscionable to think that anyone would want to reverse standards that are in place to protect the health of women seeking an abortion. Anyone ever heard of Kermit Gosnell? He's the grusome doctor in PA serving time for untold violations and deaths because of his complete disregard for the health of women that he was operating on. Just google him. Anyone that really cares about women's health would never consider anything but the strictness regulations on these very dangerous procedures that are basically done in clinics. No woman would want to give birth in a clinic--why? Because she'd want to be a hospital in the case of an emergency (like a ruptured utero us, possibly preventing future WANTED babies) and specialists were needed. Why treat abortions any differently?  These women deserve the same standard of care, don't they?  Or does society only care about protecting the rich anortion doctors that want less red tape and medical liability?  KEEP THE SAFTEY PROTECTIONS IN PLACE!  Help fight the war against women!
