Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

I personally abhor the very thought of abortion, but I do not want two victims if a young woman decides she must do this awful deed. Those who make the decision to have an abortion should be able to have it done in an environment that meets basic health and safety standards, is clean, and where the staff is trained. These health and safety standards simply ensure that abortion centers meet common sense standards of care to ensure womens health is paramount.In just two years, inspections have exposed widespread health and safety violations - proving that these long overdue regulations were greatly needed. We must keep them in place! Jean Dudley
