Amend Current Restrictions on Women's Health Centers
 

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.

The current restrictions are not medically necessary for patients' safety. Medically unnecessary mandates, such as these regulations, jeopardize women's health by making it more difficult for women to access safe and legal abortion and to obtain other health care services these centers provide.
