Uphold Standards, Protect Women!
 

Keep abortion centers accountable to the same health and safety standards as hospitals and out-patient medical centers. Powerful drugs are administered, and surgeries performed. While I wish no one would choose or perform an abortion, I also do not want to see women injured, infected, or killed because of lack of proper medical or emergency expertise and equipment, sterile technique, oversight, etc. Do not buy into the lies that by upholding simple, common sense health and safety standards, women's access to abortion or health care would somehow be restricted. We all know that is not true.
