Please amend the unnecessary and burdensome regulations which are imposed only on facilities which provide abortions. These regulations include many requirements that are not medically related, such as: specifications for the type of fabric used on window coverings; requiring widths of five feet for public hallways and 3.8 feet for staff corridors, as well as requisite ceiling heights for the boiler room; and mandating that a provider have four parking spaces per procedure room.  Clearly, these regulations are intended to close facilities which provide abortions, as they are not imposed on any other medical facility. These regulations were created for, and should be applied ONLY to, new construction hospitals.

Thank you,

Jennifer Archer
