These new regulations are restrictive and irrelevant to patient care. It's obvious that their passage was a tactic to restrict abortion access by imposing an undue and unique burden on clinics which perform abortions, in order to force them to shut down and stop offering services to women who can't afford hospitalization by a private practitioner.

If the state wishes to impose these burdens on abortion clinics, it must either prove that abortions pose a special risk which can only be mitigated by requiring outdoor awnings and linen closets, or it must impose the new standards consistantly. Virginia must apply the regulations equally to all clinics where minor surgeries are performed. This will need to include dentist, orthodontist, and cosmetic surgery establishments.

It is a regulatory agency's job to ensure public safety, not to enforce religious judgements against some medical procedures over others.
