Require Safety - Don't PANDER TO SPECIAL INTEREST
 

Board of Health,

It is unconscionable that the Board of Health would consider changing or removing the standards set in place to protect women. The abortion business is a $2Billion industry and yet the Board of Health stated it was cost prohibitive to enforce the building codes.The health of women is more important than politics and money. We hear a lot of rhetoric about treating people with respect regardless of whether we agree with their politics. Removing or changing these standards just shows that its all about special interests - giving the abortionists and abortion facility owners what they want - more money! Thank you for your attention.
