I would call it false. You are saying that women's clinics and men's clinics have to meet different ambulatory surgery standards. That's false. Men's clinics do not have to meet ambulatory surgery standards, even when a surgery is being performed. Your argument is false.
UCSF, the CDC, and WHO, at the very least, ALL contradict your "opinion."
No, they don't.
None of those authorities actually say that surgery is involved. Surgery may be involved. But a simple abortion using suction doesn't involve any surgery at all. And neither the UCSF, the CDC, nor the WHO say that suction is surgery.
That's because you mistakenly believe you know better than UCSF, the CDC, and WHO (at the very least).
Again... According to CDC records, nearly 80% of abortions are surgical procedures,and women's deaths have been reported as a result of complications of legally performed abortions.
Given those facts, there's no way anyone can legitimately argue that ambulatory surgery center medical and facilities standards aren't necessary for facilities performing SURGICAL abortions.

Wrong. The CDC does not say that nearly 80% of abortions are surgical procedures. They say that nearly 80 % of abortions are not medication-induced abortions. The CDC doesn't say that surgery is involved.
You are basing your entire argument on an inaccurate medical term that is used for the sake of convenience.
It doesn't describe the actual procedure at all. And you know this, because if the term surgery applies to suction abortions, then the term surgery would have to apply to simple pelvic exams and pap smears. And it doesn't.

Both UCSF and WHO categorize such abortions as SURGICAL. Take it up with them.

I'm actually dumbfounded that so many of you would think nothing of expecting your girlfriend/sister/daughter/friend/etc. to have a SURGICAL abortion at a clinic that DOESN'T have to meet minimum ambulatory surgery center medical and facilities standards, especially when women's DEATHS occur as a result.

They don't classify such abortions as surgical. They just use a blanket term.
You aren't arguing based on facts. Your argument is based on semantics. That's why you're dumbfounded.
