TARP onerous regulations
 

The science of medicine must be the ruling factor when deciding regulations for abortion providers.  Neither religion or politics have a place in this discussion.  Over-regulation to make abortion inaccessible is a political decision.  To determine when a fetus has a soul is religious doctrine.  I would truly prefer you spend more time, effort and money on making birth control free or truly affordable to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place.  The government does not belong in a woman's uterus.  Any loss of autonomy over a woman's own body is the definition of slavery.
