Board of Health,

please! please! I urge you to vote to ensure that every woman receives the protections afforded to them via the regulations set forth through these amendments; basic health and safety standards are vital as well as emergency care standards, for the care of these women. It can not be overstated the impact that these regulations will have on the health and welfare of the women who have to make or choose to make the decision to terminate the life that they carry. At the very least they should know that "where" they go to have this procedure done is going to make every concerted effort to ensure that the facility , the staff and the equipment has met the rigorous safety and health requirements equal to that of any other facility that performs medical procedures. Your vote to protect these women from the abortion industrys continual attack on them- by trying to weaken or abolish these basic and vital center standards- is not only humane but by the very nature of your position, your obligation to uphold.
