require rooms for longer postabortion care stays
 
Some women are suffering serious bleeds after abortion and ending in E.R. care. Less regulation is a bad idea and will worsen the problem. Caring for women means needing higher standards in medicine. Women are required to stay 24-48 hours after delivery in hospitals and abortion clinics should match those standards and proper staffing.
