Continue to enforce regulations on abortion facilities
 

I’m writing to request that you continue to uphold the regulations that are currently in place for abortion facilities. These facilities should be held to the highest of standards as they are caring for women that are already in difficult situations and don’t need complications or poor health standards to deal with on top of everything else. If we care about women and their choice we should care about giving them the safest place possible. Removing regulations is careless and takes a very serious procedure back to the alley. Just because our governor is the “Abortion for all, even at birth”, advocate, he doesn’t get a pass on doing things the right way. This in no way impedes women’s access to abortion care. If anything it points out those dangerous facilities that women should avoid. Let’s not make this political and about lining the pockets of the abortion industry. Let’s continue to care about the women we so ardently fight to protect.
