Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

Good evening-Please maintain the reasonable abortion clinic regulations that are currently in place. While abortions are certainly not healthcare (at least not for the person being aborted), the facilities that perform these medical procedures should be held accountable for the cleanliness of the clinics, and be accountable for maintaining the facilities in the same fashion that all other clinics and medical offices are.If this is truly about womens safety and health, then why not adhere to the regulations already in place by doing the right thing" The same huge organizations who are fighting this could easily reach into their deep pockets to bring their clinics into compliance, instead of spewing venom about how it is a vicious war on women. If they care about women and their choices to abort then I am lost as to why they wouldnt want clean facilities that are abiding by the law.Thank you for your consideration of this important issue.
