Regulations for Health and Safety of Abortion Facilities
 

The regulations for the safety of women should be made permanent.  It is unbelievable that any facility engaged in surgery is not required to meet the standards for health and safety that all other medical facilities have always been made to meet.   Medical facilities, doctor's offices, clinics are all subject to very stringent regulations - why not a facility that routinely performs a surgery that can be very dangerous?  I am asking you to make permanent the regulations passed last year to insure the safety of patients at abortion clinics.
