Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

Regardless of your opinion of the abortion issue, womens health concerns should be at the top of the list of concerns. Abortion is a medical procedure no matter how it is accomplished. Who among you would wants to be subject to second class conditions for treatment" Who wants to be left to chance the access to prompt follow-up attention in a hospital when complications occur" I submit---none of you!Please do not change the safety measures which have been put in place to protect patients. To change them would indicate your preference for the commerce portion of abortion where the dollar rules. I am depending on your moral integrity to do what is right for patients and not for those who would profit from a business at patients health and safety expense. Erma Cox
