Over-regulation of women's health clinics hurts low income women most
 

As a previous poster commented:

"These regulations are not medically necessary and may be dangerous as they force women to wait and/or travel to obtain an abortion."

This is particularly true for women who are struggling to make ends meet. Lawmakers need to stop placing burdensome regulation on clinics in an attempt to circumvent women's constitutionally protected right to choose.
