Ensure high medical standards for abortion clinics
 

The political sensitivity of the issue is no reason to reduce the protections of high medical standards afforded to women who choose abortion.  The procedure is a serious medical intervention with potentially grave consequences if proper protocols are not followed.  Please do not endanger women's health by removing the reasonable regulations that apply to other medical procedures and facilities.
