Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

Please keep the health regulations that are in place for abortion facilities. Women who go to these facilities should be guaranteed a healthy environment that is up to the standards of any other health facility that performs such a drastic procedure. These facilities have proven in the past that they cannot or will not regulate themselves as evidenced by large number of critical violations. It is bad enough that a young woman should go through such a procedure. It should at least be done as safely as possible. Thomas Canavan
