Women's Health
 

I stand to protect women's rights. Many things bother me about the regulations impossed recently, and i do not want to see them become permanent. Extensive, burdensome requirements for clinic buildings that are unrelated to the services health centers provide, and have no proven medical benefit, will reduce or eliminate patient access to health care. This is one of the regulations that bothers me the most, because it does nothing to protect or help women. It simply is meant to make it impossible for clinics to comply so they cannot offer certain services. Women deserve quality and unbiased health care services.
