Respect women, require safety!
 

Medical procedures always involve risk, no matter how minor the procedure might appear. Abortion is an invation of a woman's body by a foreign object. This means that something invasive is going on. Why would we not want to make this procedure as safe as possible? Please do not rescind the good regulations that the Board of Health passed recently. Yes, I do think that an abortion means death to a little person and this procedure is deadly, always. However, the woman is also of concern. Please protect at least the woman, the mother, of the child.
