Abortion Regulations
 

I see these abortion regulations as an attempt to curb abortion availability which should be available on demand.  Wide doors and wide corridors do not make for good safe abortions. Good, well trained doctors and nurses do.  If abortions are made so expensive and difficult to obtain, we will see a return to unsafe back street abortions of the past. 

We need good, readily available and affordable birth control to reduce the need for abortion.

Do not force a woman or couple to have a baby they do not want and cant afford, to be parents.  Remember child abuse starts with an unwanted baby. 

Many single mothers cannot afford child care meaning she will have to give up work or maybe her work pays less than any available child care. 

Please think through the consequences of such unecessary regulation.
