Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

The abortion industry claims to be able to self-regulate; however, the regulations now in place have revealed over 400 violations in just over two years: Blood splattered exam tables and equipment, unsterilized equipment, poorly trained or untrained staff, violations of state parental consent laws, the lack of reporting of possible cases of child sexual abuseLets break down the numbers: there have been over 400 violations, and there are 18 abortion providers in the state. Thats an average of 22 violations per center. 22!! Why have we let the abortion industry get away with such a glaring abandonment of safety"This complete disregard for the safety of women needs to end now! Barry Oxford
