These regulations are critical to making abortions as safe as possible.  Without these regulations, the abortions performed are legal "back ally abortions."  The clinics are not sanitary, and medical support for complications is very limited and unacceptable.  As a physician I know that abortions are not health care for the women, they hurt women, kill children and wound the fathers.  Women are victums of criminal practices by unscrupulous abortionists.  The abortion clinics must at least meet the same standards that the hospitals have to meet.  Why should they be exempt; so that more women may die or have serious infections?  In addition women should be given the whole picture before they make a final, irrevocable decision to kill their child in the womb. This includes waiting periods, ultrasounds, and adoption alternatives.  These regulations are very important to woman's health and they must be made permanent to protect women.
