Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

In this day and age it is unbelievable to me that abortion is still so prevalent and is still so often used as a form of birth control.I object to abortion and am 100% pro life. That said, I know that through my taxes and thanks to our government, I am funding this murder of unborn babies.Planned Parenthood should receive no tax payer funds.Planned Parenthood alone is a $1 billion industry. It has the money to bring its abortion centers into compliance with these reasonable health and safety standards. It simply has to choose if it is going to spend it on womens health instead of political campaigns.Since I know abortion will never be stopped, the least these women who make the decision to have an abortion should be able to have it done in an environment that meets basic health and safety standards, is clean, and where the staff is trained. These health and safety standards simply ensure that abortion centers meet common sense standards of care to ensure womens health is paramount.The regulations previously passed must be upheld!
