I am saddened that my state is trying to enact such cumbersome and unnecessary restrictions on women's health facilities and further restrict access to crucial health care. I wish the legislature would spend more time focusing on helping "born" children thrive rather than restricting the rights of our citizens to safe and legal family planning services.

If you feel compelled to amend the regulations, make sure those amendments are based on medicine and science rather than ideology. Please don't impede women's access to essential health care.
