Make abortion regulations permanent
 

Abortion is not women's health care.  Abortion hurts women, kills babies, and leaves the fathers in pain.  Abortions have serious complications for the women, and the clinics that perform these surgeries are not regulated.  Just as hospitals are regulated, abortion clinics must be regulated to make sure thery meet current standards.  Because of lack of regulation of abortion clinics we are having legal "back alley abortions" because the abortion clinics don't have to meet any standards.  In addition since abortion is a final life changing decision, the woman must be given all the information to make a choice that she can never take back or change.  Waitng periods, mandatory ultrasounds so the women truly understand what they are killing, and adoption options should be discussed with the patiente before the final irreversible decision to abort the child. Please make these regulations permanent.
