Strongly Support Current Regulations on Abortion Centers
Strongly Support Current Regulations on Abortion Centers
I strongly support the current regulations on abortion centers approved overwhelmingly by the Board of Health. These regulations should be made permanent and continue to include the strongest standards.
I refuse to accept the premise that abortion is health care because it ends lives. However, the existence of the abortion industry under the guise of “health care” is a sad and tragic reality in our Commonwealth. The current regulations are reasonable, common-sense measures to ensure that life-saving equipment is on hand, infections are prevented, and clear written policies and building guidelines are in place. Please maintain strong regulations on abortion clinics to protect the health and safety of women.”
