Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

Please dont allow the abortion lobby in this commonwealth to get away with avoiding clinic health regulations. Your government has a responsibility to protect citizens who are going for whatever medical treatment. Abortion is a dangerous, invasive surgery, which can result in complications no matter who is getting an abortion. The risk of any surgical procedure has given rise to a myriad of regulations for all other types of operations, but abortion wasnt regulated until last year. I urge you to use whatever influence you have to uphold high standards of care and cleanliness in all abortion clinics throughout this commonwealth. This isnt a politically motivated request, this is common sense. I dont want anyone to die, not the unborn, not the women, not the doctors. However, women are being put at risk for death because the conditions of health clinics are so abysmal! Protect these women by maintaining the clinic regulations. Pursuing a world without abortion - Sean
