Women and providers deserve medically sound, evidence-based practices. Women deserve access to health care, and providers should not face barriers to providing medical care. The regulations threaten the continued availability of safe, legal first-trimester abortion and preventive reproductive health care in multiple locations throughout the state. Extensive, burdensome requirements for clinic buildings that are unrelated to the services health centers provide and have no proven medical benefit will reduce or eliminate patient access to health care.
