.The current burdensome and medically unnecessary regulations will close women’s health centers, restricting access to the comprehensive health care these centers provide, including cancer screenings and birth control, as well as abortion. I urge the Commissioner and Board of Health to rewrite these politicized restrictions so that they rely on evidence-based medicine. Rather than allowing political or ideologic forces to dictate medical care, regulatory action should be based on sound principles of public health and sound scientific data.
