Be the Board of Health
 

Dear Board of Health,

Please help abortion clinics to do what supports health and safety of their clients by:

-Requiring all OLC inspections to verify that ultrasounds have been performed at least 24 hours prior to every abortion performed. 

-Requiring annual inspections on abortion facilities.

-Removing the ability of the Commissioner to grant permanent variances. 

You have the ability to see that life is respected, protected and supported.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Higgins
