Regulatory Action
 

These new regulations are supposed to make things safer for women when they actually target only a specific type of clinic.  Abortion is a safe procedure and needed in a free society.  It is a decision made between a doctor and the patient and involves great thought and hard choices.  The government has no earthly reason to be pushing their nose into these decisions.  I always thought that Republicans were for fewer regulations, smaller government.  Obviously this means that they get to pick and chose where their noses go.  I truly feel that these laws bring us back 50 years in time.   Please listen to reason and do not push these regulations forward.
