Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

I am appalled at the number of health and safety violations in abortion clinics, as well as the lack of protection for minors via parental consent forms and protection from abusers in general. Abortion clinics are infamous for this callous disregard for the safety of their clients. The number of violations speaks of a desperate need to keep laws on the books that demand that the health and safety of the clients who visit these clinics is protected. The amount of money derived from this practice gives no excuse to the clinics for their refusal to comply with the health and safety standards demanded of any medical facility. The fact that they have the money to do so and refuse to makes the violations that more heinous. I wholeheartedly support these health and safety regulations for abortion clinics. Please continue to implement these laws for the safety of their clients. Irma Powell
