Safety regulations for women's clinics
 

Please keep the regulations strictly about women's health. Keep religious preferences out of the equation. There is no reason the the "incorrect" type of water fountain is a risk. These clinics provide so many other services to women than abortions. When a clinic closes hundreds of women who desperately need health care cannot get the help they need. This is just plain wrong. I sincerely doubt that the people who oppose these clinics have ever wanted health care they could not get. Most of the women affected are poor the one who most need help. If some one does not want an abortion, she needent get one. Denying health care to others on the basis of one and one only type of treatment offered is bigotry of the worst sort.
