Abortion Clinics

Strengthening Families, Protecting Life and Promoting Health > Protecting Innocent Human Life > Abortion Clinics
We propose legislation that holds abortion clinics to the same health regulations as other medical facilities and that subjects clinics to the same malpractice liabilities. We oppose any public funding for Planned Parenthood or other organizations/facilities that provide, advocate or promote elective abortions.

There is little evidence that abortion is unsafe for women. Therefore, there is no need for increased regulation of the facilities. Wait, aren't we conservatives? Suddenly we believe regulation is the solution to all problems? That is the Democrat approach.

The funding clause is overly broad. It would prevent funding for facilities or organizations that provide legitimate abortions.
