Abortion Clinic Regulations
 

Lets not pretend that this isn't exactly what it appears to be.This is obviously politically motivated. I do not believe it has anything to do with protecting womens health. If this were solely for protecting the health of people then other clinics that perform certain proceedures would be included. Whether one agrees with Roe-vs-Wade or not, the fact is, it is a womens right to have her unwanted pregnancy terminated. Chipping away at that right is not the answer. I do know one thing for sure, this will cause many more unwanted pregnancies or women attempting to take matters into their own hands. Put the money and effort toward education and prevention. Denying that there is a problem and using ones personal beliefs as the reason will do nothing to assist what women truly need. A place to go in a time of very personal decisions where she is free from judgement and shame. Where she can "choose" what option is best for "her". It is, afterall, her health and well being at stake.
