The American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology reported in 2012 that childbirth is 14 times more likely to result in a pregnant person's death than abortion is. It makes me angry when people try to restrict my human rights, such as my right to safe legal and necessary healthcare; it makes me TWICE as angry when they lie about why. These regulations are not about safety and they never were. I came to Richmond from my home in Alexandria in December to be at the Board of Health meeting to support the amendment process for these awful, toxic, political regulations, and I'm submitting this comment to say thank you for voting the way you did, and STAY THE COURSE. Virginia women and all reproductive & sexual healthcare recipients deserve so much better than lies dressed up as concern.
