Title
I think the title of the page needs to be changed to "abortion facilities", since a large number of what are commonly thought of as abortion clinics are just the private practices of abortion doctors, and thus not subject to regulation.
- I'd like to see some statistics on this. My impression is that most abortions are performed in abortion clinics now. Most physicians do not put patients under general anesthesia, which is required for abortion, in their private practices. But if you have other data about this, I'd like to see it.--Andy Schlafly 16:11, 23 October 2010 (EDT)
