Regulations for Licensure of Abortion Facilities
 

Abortion is a medical procedure.  Consequently, the regulations for abortion facilities in Virginia should be stringent to protect the life of women who obtain an abortion.  A woman who walks into an abortion facility should be able to walk out again, uninjured, after undergoing an abortion.  I am against abortion.  But, I am also against relaxing standards on abortion facilities and in doing so endangering the life of a woman.  I certainly hope that preserving life has not lost all meaning in Virginia.
