Board of Health,

The health of women should always take priority over the profits of those who supply health care to women. Parents of minors who have abortions need to be notified as minors may hide symptoms resulting in serious infections or worse. Adequate emergency care standards need to be required. The days of sending women to hospitals miles away from the abortion center when emergencies arise should be over. Also the cause of death in the case of an abortion should be clearly labeled as such and not merely "sepsis", etc. It is time to protect women and accurately report womens health statistics.
