Board of Health,

Please vote to uphold the common sense safety regulations at abortion clinics previously voted on and passed. These are similar to standards in place at every other ambulatory healthcare facility across the state. Why should abortion clinics be outside the norm" Why should VA women compromise their health and safety when choosing to undergo an invasive surgical procedure" IF the clinics are up to par in providing all these safety standards, then what are they afraid of" I can only think it would hurt organizations like Planned Parenthood financially if they had to provide these services and standards. I cant see where they place womens health and safety above the bottom line.Please consider what is really important and necessary here. Carol Wolfe
