Enact the strongest possible permanent regulations to protect women's health and safety
 

I very strongly support the current regulations on abortion centers approved last year. They are common sense measures that would be expected for any legitimate health care clinic that provides the kind of invasive surgery that abortion procedures are.  Opposition to this is motivated only by the desire to make abortion as available as possible without regard to the health and safety of the unfortunate women who choose or are coerced to destroy the human life within them.  That is false compassion.  If you want to call abortion "health care", then you should also want to make sure the appropriate regulation is taking place to protect the health of the women involved.
