If you're against abortions, don't have one.
 

Don't make it impossible for others to have them.  These regulations single out abortion clinics; existing buildings are required to comply with the new standards; two clinics have closed.  How is this protecting womens' health?  Those who say the new regulations will do so need to provide evidence.  These regulations are obviously an attempt to make abortions more difficult physically, when I imagine the decision to have an abortion is already very difficult mentally.  I would have a lot more respect for people who are against abortion if they were making an effort to help the 400,000 children currently in foster care, and spent time on after school programs working with children.  It seems they only care about children before they are born.
