Virginia women's health clinic shutdowns
 

The Va. governor and the republican dominated legislature are targeting women's health clinics with extreme regulations in order to deny women the right to make their own personal health decisions.  The changes will close many clinics that serve women's health needs, and poor women, in particular, will be hit hard by the closings.  This legislation is poised to return Virginia to a time when only financially able individuals were able to obtain decent healthcare, and this targets women, specifically.  Please prevent this kind of social engineering from becoming legal.WS
