Agreed
 

Although it may be a costly event, I am convinced that hospitals in Virginia must either comply with the newest building standards or be forced to shut down.  They should never have been grandfathered in in the first place.  Also, I don't think this petition goes far enough.  As long as abortion clinics will have to meet the new guidelines, other outpatient clinics like dentists offices, plastic surgey clinics and even vetenarian clinics should have to undergo the new changes as well.  We must do everything we can to assure patient safety in Virginia.  Our women aren't the only ones who deserve better.   Men, children and dogs deserve better too.
