Safety regulations for abortion
 

I notice that many commentators urge the SHB to put health and science over politics. I agree, which is precisely why the current regulations should not be disturbed. The only thing that changed since these regulations were adopted was the governorship.

There are no established health benefits to abortion, but plenty of peer-reviewed studies showing adverse physical and mental effects. This board should not sacrifice women's health for the sake of larger profit margins for abortion businesses.
