Please stop this attack on women.
 

This nonsensical set of regulations will do nothing more than deny many women (and maybe some young men) access to healthcare.   Supporters use this mess to shut solely down women's clinics or else the demand for these regulations would ring just as loudly for dental offices, eye surgery centers, and physician's offices where invasive procedures are preformed.  

If this were truly a demand for better oversight for health then any medical office that breaks skin or has the potential for anaphylactic shock -- possibly even a vaccine center -- would be "safer" under these regulation.

I depend on these clinics and I am a woman that is past child-bearing.  Really, please stop this nonsense.
