Evidence-based medical decisions
 

As a member of an American medical association, I understand evidence-based medical decisions.  These regulations are contrary to good medical care and provide no additional benefit to either doctors or patients.

I myself have experienced outpatient care for non-abortion procedures and know that they can be unsafe or risky.  Yet these regulations concern only 1 procedure, which is known to be opposed by the ruling political party for primarily religious reasons.  This is not reason enough to change proven safe procedures and makes a mockery of our Constitution and rule of law.
