Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

For many God-fearing, tax paying citizens, legitimizing and facilitating abortion is endorsement of murder. However, even for citizens who are not God-fearing, allowing medical facilities that perform perform abortions to continue to operate in spite of blatant violations of health safety requirements is irresponsible and hypocritical because it demeans the value of women to whom "choice" is being provided as a "right." At the very least, current health regulations should be maintained and enforced. Good sense compassionate care standards should not be relaxed or ignored because it is convenient for the Governor or the AG who do not agree and place higher value on freedom of choice than on safety and health of women and their children. Ponder this: Why does our society require more disclosure for financial transactions, food and medication labeling than the disclosure of the alternative consequences of abortion ...and less enforcement" Ken and Shirley Zenzel
