Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

As a woman who has a lot of medical issues already, I cannot come up with a logical, sound reason to have lower medical standards in place while undergoing an abortion than I would while undergoing any less invasive procedure that still has safe-guards in place by law (and common sense). Abortion clinics: if you want to argue that this is a valid medical procedure, why not voluntarily set your standards as high as any labor & delivery unit" What do women benefit by having lower standards in place" Stephanie
