Repeal standards
 

This is more about politics than protecting women.  These regulations are not necessary to protect the safety of women.       Abortion is an extremely safe and common procedure. These restrictions single out abortion providers even though other procedures, like colonoscopies, have a much higher rate of complication, and are commonly performed in similar outpatient clinics.  Do not limit women's right to make personal decisions and do not limit accessibly to the health care they may wish to seek.
