Yes! Amend these restrictions; they are not necessary for patient safety
 

I support the Board of Health's decision to amend the current regulations on women's health centers and to ensure that women's clinics remain open.

All health professions should be regulated for safety. But these restrictions are not medically necessary for patients' safety. These medically unnecessary regulations jeopardize women's health by making it more difficult for women to access safe and legal abortion, along with the other health care services these centers provide.
