Regulation of abortion centers
 

While it is a misnomer to call abortion centers "health care" canters, because they perform surgical procedures on women, I strongly urge that these centers be regulated to require strict adherece to health and safety standards as as approved by the Department of Health and approved by the Board of Health.
