Abortion Center health and safety standards
 

Abortion centers should have the same health standards as hospitals. They are performing invasive procedures that need to be done under very strict health and safety standards.  Why is it ok for these centers not to be prepared when something goes wrong? To do an abortion is very hard on an individual and the woman should not have to go to a place that will only hurt their mental state more.
