Safety Standards Must be Improved to Protect Women
 
Women in abortion clinics deserve the same level of care they would expect in any free-standing surgical center. Women's rights include protecting their health during any medical procedure. Continuing to allow abortion centers to function under watered down regulations puts women at risk. Adopt standards acceptable at self-standing surgical centers for abortion centers. WOMEN'S HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ABORTION CLINIC PROFITS.
