Access to clinics should not be restricted
 

Access to clinics which perform abortions should not be restricted, and neither should these clinics be subjected to regulations such as hospitals have to, when other out-patient surgery clinics for other reasons do not have to do so. This is a transparent effort to take away the right to choose, and is unfair. Unless your dental surgery, cataract surgery, plastic surgery and all other outpatient clinics are subjected to the same requirements, realize how unfair this treats women, who, even at 77 cents on the dollar, are taxpayers and are paying for the government "arm" which is doing this to them.
