Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

When we post signs in restrooms requiring employees to wash hands, we are thinking about what is best for both the employees conscience and the customers health. Employees may not wish to wash their hands but we require it.When we hold abortion clinics to certain basic health standards it is truly a womens rights issue. The best for the customer and her daughters and her sisters and her mother is at stake. The customer may wish for lower costs and lower standards. That that level of ignorance should not be used to jeopardize their rights to a healthy surgical environment. Lets not have higher standards for pet neutering facilities than we have for our abortion clinics. Charles Detwiler
