My sister is having a baby right now. I am at peace, even though I'm hundreds of miles away from her side in Florida. I'm at peace because I know that there are skilled medical professionals who have her in a clean, safe, and professional environment.
If women choose to have an abortion, why shouldn't they be given the same cleanliness, safety, and professional environment as the women choosing to give birth? If these are two choices that are substantially equal, as the "pro-choice" side argues, then why are they fighting against regulating them the same way?
Abortion is a dangerous procedure that should never be performed. However, women do make the choice to have them despite my efforts to give them another way. I will not just sit back and let these women go into danger just because I disagree with their decision. Women having a serious medical procedure should be assured safety during that procedure.
These standards should be upheld. If an abortion clinic cannot meet these standards, they should improve their facility--the standards of care shouldn't be lowered. The government must protect the people. This commonwealth doesn't protect the unborn people who are killed by abortion, but they had better at least protect the women.
