vote for women's safety
 

I am concerned about the safety of women and the unborn babies they are carrying. Therefore I strongly support the current regulations on abortion centers approved overwhelmingly by the Board of Health.  These regulations should be made permanent and continue to include the strongest standards to ensure the best care for people even when I do not agree with their decision. We have lost enough lives at abortion clinics to put mother's lives in danger of top of that.

The current regulations are reasonable, common-sense measures to ensure that life-saving equipment is on hand, infections are prevented, and clear written policies and building guidelines are in place.  Please maintain strong permanent abortion facility regulations to protect the health and safety of women.
