Oppose crushing regulations on reproductive health clinics
 

There is just one question here: whether the women in your life who terminate a pregnancy have access to safe, competent care or not. Make no mistake, the purpose of these regulations is to shut down clinics and make sure that women don't have access to safe, competent care. These regulations have no medical purpose whatsoever but rather seek to impose the religious beliefs of a minority on others. The goal is to force women to go through pregnancy against their will. I ask you to reject the regulations in their entirety.
