Abortion and Rights
 

To Whom It May Concern,

I wanted to write in today, to address the regulations that have been put on abortions in Virginia. I personally find it truly insane that the government might try and infilict strict regulations and laws that influence my right to choose how I handle my body. As a woman, I am in charge of what I want and what my body needs and to think that someone might tell me differently is honestly disgusting. Men don't have to deal with such attrocities and I can't imagine anyone in their right might would want to inflict these backwards ideas in our society today. I believe in my right to choose what is best for me in every aspect of my life, and I do not want a goverment I didn't necessarily support to have any say in that decision. I would appreciate the respect I deserve as a woman and citizen of this country and that includes my ability to do as I please to my body. Whether I want or need an abortion or I want to cut my hair, I don't think anyone else man or woman has the right to tell me how to handle my life. I appreciate your time. 

Regards, Sarah
