Freep a Poll! (should abortion mills be forced to meet same structural requirements as hospitals?)
wtvr.com ^ | 2-25-11 | WTVR

POLL: What effect do you think requiring abortion clinics to meet the same structural requirements as hospitals will have? Proponents of the bill say it will protect women's health. Opponents say the bill is a way of restricting abortions. They note that the hospital-like regulations could force 17 of 21 clinics in the state to close, and point out that the regulations do not apply to clinics where other medical procedures, like colonoscopies, are performed. Read the full article here.

"A bitterly divided Virginia Senate approved a new law Thursday that would force abortion clinics to meet the same regulatory and architectural requirements as outpatient surgical centers — a long sought goal of abortion opponents that abortion rights advocates say could close 17 of the state's 21 outpatient clinics."

Hardly mutually exclusive, especially in reference to the health of those baby women being murdered in abortions.

How cruel... Virginia will force women to kill their infants somewhere else. Cry me a friggin' river.

Here’s an online poll regarding abortion.

Perhaps your moral absolutes ping list would like to participate.

Actually, the poll is not about whether you support the measure but about what you think the consequences would be.

However, it is interesting to see a state passing measures which require stricter standards for abortion clinics.

They do a serious, potentially life threatening (to the mother as well) medical procedure. If abortion is going to be he legalized, they should be held to the same standards as a hospital. Let them cope with THAT.

There’s more than one way to shut down the abortion business.

Anything that reduces abortions and closes abortuaries sounds like a step in the right direction.

Wasn’t safety the reason that was usually given for abortion to be made legal? No more “back alley” abortions?

Anything that limits abortion is good for health, as you can’t get more than 100% dead.

Things that are intended to make medical care for those are intended to be made better (and not killed) safer, faster, etc., may or may not be good for health, but they defacto limiting health care.
