Board of Health,

If the governor and legislature are truly concerned about the health and safety of women then they should keep in place the regulations which require trained staff and a equipment to deal with the emergencies which can arise from this surgical procedure.The abortion industry claims to be safe, but 300 health and safety violations prove otherwise.
