Women's Health
 

The high standard of care provided by women's health centers is proven by their impressive safety record. Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Over-regulation will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.

My purpose is not to argue whether abortion is right or wrong. I do not believe that government regulation should impose the moral values and religious beliefs of any one person or group or elected official(s) on the populace.
