Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

I respectfully ask you to maintain the reasonable and logical law that provides a measure of protection to women who undergo abortions. There is enough stress when deciding to abort; the added stress of unsafe, unclean, substandard medical facilities need not be added to it. If pro-choice, means pro-woman, then certainly surgical procedures should be done in a facility that meets surgical standards. This is not onerous, it is reasonable and consistent with the standard applied to any other medical facility that provides comparable services. Sincerely yours,Margot Clenance Margot Clenance
