Every woman deserves to be protected from harm in medical environments. Keep the regulations in plac
 

It is  scary to find yourself responsible for another person when you are trying to live life as you and others have desired. Abortion seems the "best" way out. Face it, there is no convenient time to be pregnant. But pregnancy is a natural phenomenon.I personally found there was not a lot I could not do while pregnant, but it was sometimes more tiring.

 I have seen many tears turn to joy while working as a volunteer at a Pregnancy Center. Some carry to term. Other women came in with guilt over an abortion hidden for many years.  Others come determined to allow a stable family to raise their child. Some choose to abort and go elsewhere. That place should offer the highest standard of regulated care.
