Permanent inspection of abortion clinics
 

After reading about the atrocious treatment of women by Dr. Brigham, how can anyone question whether the regulations requiring health and safety inspections of abortion clinics should be made permanent?  Of course they should!

These clinics must be prepared to deal with medical emergencies arising from injuries which occur during abortions.  Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous doctors who will make no, or too little, preparations for emergencies unless they are subject to the oversight provided by rigorous inspections. 

Please keep the inspections in place and well performed for the benefit of women who choose to avail themselves of the services provided by abortionists.
