ya know something...
...if we could only get rid of big government, idiotic subjects like this just wouldn't exist.
leave it to a republican
Leave it to a republican to want and enforce bigger government and limit your legal rights.
This has nothing to do with medical safety and everything to do with politics and religion.

...believe you to be wise.
Another attack on Freedom
This is just an other Republican attack on a personal freedom of choice. Republicans are very supportive of corporations having freedom of choice but when it comes to individuals they want to restrict our freedoms.
Just some thoughts
Judging from many comments here and over the years from liberals, it would appear that once one accepts the murdering of human babies based upon their physical location at the time of the killing, one becomes or already was a soul-less emotionally dysfunctional jerk. And they think we don't like them because they want to steal money they didn't earn.
Costly to raise those kids
I like the Republicans’ rules, cry about any abortions, and then cry that society has to help those same people for the next 18 years.
But, we should cry for Exxon and BP, they only made $30 billion this last quarter, they must be going broke, we should subsidies more funding for them.
case
in point....
If the standards were to apply across the board, sure
These standards address only "clinics" providing abortion services. Other "clinics" don't have to meet the same standard. Make the standards standard, and I say ok.
Make the "standard" for one type of clinic and it is political.
so
you really think that a face peel or liposuction is the same risk as partitioning a fetus out of a woman's uterus? C'mon man... you don't really believe that.
Huh? Am I missing something here?
Well, well, well...when I was opposed to the new EPA regulations on oil and natural gas-fired power plants, I was accused of "wanting dirty air and dirty water." During the Bork hearings, I was accused of wanting to "take America back to the days of 'back alley abortion." Now that I've accepted this odious practice as the norm, I'm accused of trying to "restrict women's reproductive rights. (still can't find that one in the constitution)." Seems to me that the opponents of this proposal are the ones who want to take us back to the back alley. Isn't the lack of medical standards, by definition, the back alley?
