Board of Health,

I encourage you, with all of my heart, to support the previously passed abortion regulations.The women who choose abortion should have a medical environment that is equal to other operating room procedures. One of the more common definitions of abortion is "any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy." The definition of the procedure itself states that it is considered surgery. It only seems reasonable that ALL surgical procedures should have equal protection for the patient, regardless of the particular surgery involved.I urge you to make the reasonable decision of supporting all regulations that protect a womans health and well-being while surgery of any type is taking place in her body, and that must include abortion.
