Action | Regulations for Licensure of Abortion Facilities |

I oppose the health center regulations that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion. These regulations do nothing to protect patient safety. They are a way to make it more difficult for women, especially low-income women, to have a safe, legal medical procedure. The regulations will cause financial hardship for women, and will do nothing to help the women. The statements that women who are victims of incest are "sinbearers" brings to light what this legislation is designed to do--take legal rights away from women.
