Pandering to the Right
 

It is obvious what these regs do: try to bring us one step closer to outlawing abortion. Instead of actually outlawing it (which is impossible), politicians decided the next best thing would be to create laws that make it impractical for many to stay open.

PP gives a great deal of services to women who need care, especially those on the low income economic bracket, the vast majority of which are NOT abortions.

Instead of supporting these regs, I can't fathom why people don't support comprehensive sex education in public schools which numerous studies have shown to REDUCE abortion. I also find it ridiculous that the same people who support this regulation are the same "get your government hands off my money and guns" folks that seem to be driving the political conversation.

tl;dr: it is unreasonable and frankly unconstitutional to require these clinics to adhere to these arbitrary regs.
