An abortion is surgery.

Surgeries require clean, regulated environments.

Surgeries have complications for which the facility must be prepared.

I'm an EMT, and if we can't get a patient to the ambulance because a facility does not meet medical standards (sufficiently wide hallways), everyone loses.

If the facility is dirty or ill-prepared to deal with a medical emergency, they should not be granted a license.

Kindly hold abortion clinics to the same high medical standards that we require of every other outpatient surgical procedure facility.

Thank you.
