Board of Health,

Please uphold the health and safety standards requiring abortion providers to provide a clean, safe environment that meets basic health and safety standards. There is nothing unreasonable in these standards, and nothing that will prevent women from receiving access to abortion services should they want that. The standards are there to ensure that womens health is paramount. An abortion is major, invasive surgery. At a minimum, Requiring trained staff, clean, sterile environment and the enforcement of reporting requirements should be normal and standard, not something that needs to be debated. Christina Chapman
