The current burdensome and medically unnecessary regulations will close women’s health centers, restricting access to the comprehensive health care these centers provide, including well-woman checks, cancer screenings and birth control, as well as abortion. I urge the Commissioner and Board of Health to rewrite these politicized restrictions so that they rely on evidence-based medicine. Rather than allowing political or ideologic forces to dictate medical care, regulatory action should be based on sound principles of public health and sound scientific data.
