Safety Regulations
 

I would like to encourage the Board of Health to strongly consider keeping the regulations in place for women's medical clinics. If my daughter were to have an abotion, I would want it to happen in the safest place possible, and for her to be protected by the highest of safety regulations and standards. After reading about the violations of standards in several facilities in the state, I am concerned that the women in our Commonwealth may not be as safe as possible when they have an abotion.
