The proposed regulations affecting abortion care providers are unduly burdensome. These are politically-motivated regulations aimed at restricting access to abortion, rather than improving women's health care. The effect of the law is to make access to not only reproductive health care, but also basic health screenings, more difficult for women, particularly low-income populations.
