Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

It has been alarming to learn of the numerous abortion center violations to basic health and safety standards our Board of Health has uncovered recently. Should not such major surgery necessitate the same safety and health conditions as those in our hospitals" Would men not expect/receive such considerations and precautions" Certainly emergency care equipment and training should also be a requirement for staff overseeing such major surgery. Please do all within your power to put and maintain in place such standards and to see that related medical training routinely be updated in these facilities.Thank you, Susan Brown
