Preserve common sense health standards in place for the womens' sake
 

It is disappointing to hear of the governor's desire to lower the health standards that abortion clinics will be held to.  It only makes sense, considering the procedures performed, that every precaution be taken for the health and safety of every patient that enters the facility.  If our primary concern was truly for the patients, this proposal would not ever see the light of day, it just doesn't make sense.  Preserve common sense health standards for medical procedures, no exemptions, no exceptions, for the womens' sake.  Thank you.
