PRESERVE COMMON SENSE REGULATIONS!
 

In recent years, fair, effective and healthy standards has been applied to abortion clinics by  previous administrations. The need for them was obvious - unregulated, they cared little for the safety of their patients. We have regulations for barbers, etc., why not abortion doctors?

There is no proof that current regulations need change. They have revealed even more the need for these common-sense regulations. The fact that the number of abortion centers may have been reduced,  simply shows that those who have not measured up have dropped out of business.  This is good for the patients and their health.

Please resist the push to relax or gut current health regulations for abortion centers. In the long run, your support will be recognized as responsible and reasonable, and you will be appreciated for your perseverance in uphold them.
