Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

The plethora of deficiencies revealed in basic Department of Health inspections has exposed the failures of the $2 billion abortion industry to put the safety of women before their company profits. These inspections uncovered widespread health and safety violations, including blood splattered exam tables and equipment, unsterilized equipment, poorly or untrained staff, violations of state parental consent laws, and the lack of reporting of possible cases of child sexual abuse, along with over 400 other violations. These violations reveal a serious need for health and safety standards of these facilities in order to protect women who seek abortions. Please fight to bring abortion clinics up to the same level of professional and medical care that any other medical facility is required to abide by. Anita Veyera
