Citing Risks to Women, Rutherford Institute Urges Gov. McDonnell to
Implement Stringent Health and Safety Regulations for Abortion Clinics

RICHMOND, Va. - Pointing out that many centers in which first trimester
abortions are performed are treated as regular doctors' offices and are not
subject to even basic licensing requirements, The Rutherford Institute is
urging Governor Bob McDonnell (R-VA) to implement more stringent health
and safety regulations for abortion clinics.

What risks? A 1st-trimester abortion is just about the safest
outpatient surgery around, including many cosmetic surgeries. And
abortion at all stages of pregnancy is far safer than giving birth.
