Facility violations concerning safety should be followed for health, food and living areas
 

Fairfax abortion center had its abortion practice shut down and its license suspended after a blistering 52-page document described incident after incident of gut-wrenching health and safety violations.  These violations are serious and all abortion centers should be held in compliance or shut down if not in compliance.  A resturant or apartment building safety codes are required to be followed, how much more should the legal system require a health facility.
