Repeal and rewrite the regulations regarding women's health centers
 

The Board of Health should completely repeal and rewrite the current regulations regarding women's health centers to protect women's health and preserve access to comprehensive reproductive care.  The current regulations are not necessary for patients' safety and in fact endanger women's health.   Physicians and other health care professionals, as well as a majority of Virginians oppose these regulations.   If the current regulations are not repealed, thousands of Virginia women and their families will lose acccess to critical medical care.   I urge a scientific, data-driven approach to health care regulation.
