Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

Please retain or even strengthen the current laws that have been put in place to regulate the licensure of abortion clinics.  These laws help to protect women by ensuring that the clinics maintain health & stafety standards.  A business that is doing business inside a woman's body that will potentially affect her future fertility demands oversight to ensure tools are proplerly handled/sterilized, etc.  Though we would hope they would do what is right, having inspections to verify that is the way to know for sure.   Places like restaurants and nail salons are inspected in most if not all states correct?   Then we should expect even moreso that abortion clinics be inspected in every state.

Thank you for standing up for the safety of women!
