Regulation of Abortion
 

It is the state's responsibility to ensure the safety of its residents.  That includes monitoring medical facilities to ensure they follow approved medical procedures.  There is no reason to exempt Abortion Providers from the same regulations that other surgical providers are required to follow.  This is allowing politics to replace common sense.  Please protect women from medical professionals who are only interested in making money and not in ensuring the safety of their patients.
