Abortion Regulations
 

I hope that this new year will give women a voice and a choice. Please use scientific based information rather than religious or political reasoning when creating regulations for abortions. Roe vs. Wade gave women the right to choose a long time ago and politicians and religious groups continually try to chip away at the hard won right for women to choose. Of course abortions need to be performed in a safe environment. They have been safely performed for years. We can't go back to"'back alley" and "coat hanger" abortions when medical technology and science have advanced as much as they have.
