Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

These violations of established law certainly show that the industry cannot self-regulate. Compare the cleanliness of your doctors office with what is found in these slaughter houses calling themselves "clinics". Compare them to your veterinarianso office.Not only do they not protect women, they endanger their health just by bringing women in for an exam.These health regulations not only need to be maintained, they need to be strengthened. Abortions are an "INVASIVE" procedure. As such, they need to have the same health regulations as any outpatient surgery center. Nora C McCormick
