Amend restrictions to protect women's health and safety
 

Dear Health Care Folks:

Abortion is a legal medical procedure. 

Individuals who see this choice as a moral, religious, or emotional issue, 

should not be able to restrict others from beiing able to choose this medical option.

Do the right thing by keeping abortion (as well as the other health care services offered in these facilities) 

safe, legal and availablle.

Closing down legal and safe avenues for abortion will not prevent women from seeking terminations but 

if will return us to the time that illegal abortions were prevalent leaving women dead and damaged.

I lived during that time and don't want to see it again.
