According to Ted Miller, a spokesman for Naral Pro-Choice America, none of the 21 clinics providing abortions currently meet the rigorous standards laid out in the draft regulation.
"Abortion providers are already the most regulated health care providers in the state, and abortion remains one of the safest medical procedures," he said.

This has to do with politics." "
