Planned Parenthood is mounting a campaign to combat state laws in Tennesse, Michigan, and Pennsylvania designed to protect the health of women.
At issue are controversial laws requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at local hospitals, which require providers to meet certain medical and professional standards.
While the state abortion clinic restrictions followed Planned Parenthood's own "internal treatment protocols," the family planning organization still opposed the bills, Burke Said. "They're desperate to oppose state oversight, any outside oversight policing their actions."

In the case of Penn. the existing regulations should be observed, not add new rules if there are laws already on the books to deal with it. Overall, I think it's a good idea to require these clinics to meet the same standards as hospitals, why shouldn't they?
