over-regulating Planned Parenthood and other low-cost reproductive health care providers
 

The medical procedures provided by Planned Parenthood and other providers of reproductive health care to low income women and their families have an excellent safety record, better than many hospitals.   So piling more regulations on these excellent health providers is medically completely unnecessary.   This new round of proposed regulations is clearly politically motivated to try to drive up the cost to put these health providers out of business.  Low income families need reproductive care and the the ability to choose when they will have children, so they will be ready to raise their children well when they give birth.   Please be kind to low income families, please do not pass these political blocks to low cost reproductive care.
