re: restrictions on abortion clinics
 

I am opposed to restrictions on clinics that provide abortion services. As a retired ObGyn MD, I know that abortions can easily and safely be performed in the office setting, without the same physical plant requirements as for a hospital operating room. These restrictions are supposedly about "safety" but are just another way for anti-choice advocates to restrict  a  women's options !
