To classify women's health centers as hosiptals is unnecesaary and could be dangerous to women. These clinics are already regulated abd they have an excellent safety record. The new rules could cause some centers to close. This will make it more difficult for women to get a needed LEGAL medical procedure. It has been shown that when safe & accessible abortions are denied, women will take measures that can be unsafe. The regulation changes are a fantatical attempt to impose someone elses beliefs on women. That is not the freedom of personal choice this country is based on. Support family planning and contraception so that fewer abortions will be needed.
