Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

Abortion clinics are not regulating themselves. They are violating many safety codes and harming women. This cannot continue. They should be legally required to follow all health and safety regulations that are followed by hospitals and any medical facility. If pregnancy centers must follow the laws and regulations, then abortion clinics should also. They should not be performing procedures without parental knowledge. Emergency procedures should be in place for them also. Please do not allow abortion clinics to continue to harm women. Wanda Newcomb
