Board of Health,

Ask yourselves if those who support the relaxing or removal of health standards for abortion clinics have the health and protection of the women and girls who come for this procedure as the focus of their arguments.You have seen and heard the evidence of unsafe and unsanitary practices in enough instances to give you reason to support regulations.Ask yourselves if you would want your daughter in a clinic unregulated for these health and safety standards. Do we say that business decisions rule the day, or do we say it is the safety of the people who come for services.I urge you to agree that these standards need to remain in place. Dr. James R.Knill
