Why should abortion clinic not be held to basic medical standards?  It  is so important to protect women. Please make Abortion sclinic meet standards that all other surgical clinics need to meet.  Why is this an exception?  How can you allow these clinics to be dirty and imfectious?.  If you are for or against abortion, everyone should desire thatt the procedure be  as safe as possible for the women.  Why should these doctors and big business be allowed to cut corners to make money and hurt women.  The abortion clinics, doctors and management need to be accountable to keep minimal health standards and have reasonable plans to transfer women to a hospital if there is a complications.  Abortion is a surgical procedure and there is significant morbidity and mortality related to the procedure.  Abortion is a huge money maker and the clinics will put profit ahead of women's health if there are no regulations.
