Applause for Board of Health re: undoing restrictions on Women's Health Care Centers
 

I'm old enough to remember when an abortion was something done with a clothes hanger.   I do remember distinctly a family friend saying that's what her daughter in law had done, although I was about 11 years old and only vaguely understood the conversation. But I knew it was about death.  A governmental body should not pretend to be protecting women when it knows that the side-effects of its actions will make it increasingly difficult for a woman to have a safe procedure done, safely.  Thank you for moving to remove unnecessary restrictions.
