Keep women safe at Abortion facilities
 

Please so not rescind the law to protect women even at abortion clinics.  All medical facilities should be held to high health standards.

for these reason primarily:

Maintaining medical equipment, supplies and drugs to manage potential emergencies
Patient rights and patient services such as a process for registering complaints against the abortion facility to the Virginia Dept of Health, having a staff member certified to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on-site for emergency care when abortions are performed.
Infection prevention
Policies and procedures outlining criteria for discharge from anesthesia care.
Thank you, 
Lisa
