Regulation of Abortion Clinics
 

It is so important to the safety and health of women who use abortion clinics that they are properly regulated in the same manner as any other hospital/clinic facility that performs surgery.  Their regulation must meet tougher standards than clinics in which doctors exam patients but do not do surgery. Please permanently enact the toughest standards for such facilities so that women will not be subjected to inferior care causing to possible infection or other conditions that could even lead to death.
