Letter to the editor: Abortion clinics should be held to same standards as surgical facilities
The writer of the letter “Backward steps on abortion” (Feb. 19, TribLive) fails to tell you that abortion businesses are just that. They sell abortion procedures.
Abortion is an invasive procedure that is neither as simple nor as safe as some advocates of abortion would have the public believe. If we honestly care about the safety of women, we will hold those businesses to the same standard as any other surgical facility.
The safeguards added to Pennsylvania law forced a local abortion business to move. In their former location, emergency medical personnel couldn’t access a patient in need with a gurney because of the steep, narrow steps.
Women deserve better than the ignorance of men who happily sacrifice the safety and health of women to please themselves.
