Uphold standards and regulations
 

As a registered nurse, and reading about the horrible conditions of some of the abortion facilities, I feel there is no reason why women undergoing a procedure shouldn't have 21st century healthcare.  This is an abomination that basic standard hygiene is not followed.  It is a sad note that healthcare providers in the abortion industry have lowered standards of care for women so drastically.  This should not even be an issue - these regulations should have been in place years ago.  I wonder if this would be debated if men were the ones having the abortion?  Women are repeatedly treated as second class citizens.  I blame the male doctors who started these clinics and turned the other way, whether out of laziness or diabolical intent, and allowed such conditions to prevail.
