I strongly support the current regulations on abortion centers approved overwhelmingly by the Board of Health. These regulations should be made permanent and continue to include the strongest standards.
Health inspectors documented numerous health and safety violations in the facilities, and most of the facilities had to submit plans of correction in order to receive provisional licensure.
Clearly, the abortion industry cannot be relied upon to self-regulate and promote standards of cleanliness and safety in their facilities.
