Regulations on women's health care clinics
 

Please don't vote to make permanent medically inappropriate and unnecessarily burdensome regulations that restrict access to essential health care services for the women of Virginia. It's obviously an attempt to restrict abortion by shutting down clinics, but many other services are provided by these clinics than abortions. These restrictions only serve to further marginalize young, low-income, uninsured and minority women by decreasing their health care options.
