VA Reg of Health Care Centers Offerint 1st Trimester Abortions
 

The regulations as forced on us by Cuccinelli are offensive, unnecessary and harmful. They should be repealed. There is no scientific evidence to support requiring these facilities to meet hospital standards, and the result and intent of the regulations are to interfere with the provision of constitutionally protected medical services to women. Even worse, the result of the regulations will interfere with non-abortion services to women, having a significant harmful effect on public health, safety and welfare.
