"If the regulations are not repealed and rewritten, tens of thousands of Virginia women and families will lose access to critical medical care, and Virginia's women deserve better." states Jill Abbey, administrator of the Richmond Medical Center for Women and the Peninsula Medical Center for Women in Newport News. “Any health center that can’t comply with these medically unnecessary regulations must close, restricting access to critical health care services centers like mine provide, such as cancer screenings and birth control.”

As  Kathy Greenier, director of the ACLU of Virginia Reproductive Freedom Project, said: “It’s time for the Board of Health to heed the advice of medical experts and give these politicized regulations the unbiased review that they deserve. We call on the Board and the Commissioner of Health to repeal and rewrite the regulations in order to protect women’s health and preserve access to comprehensive reproductive health care".

I couldn't agree more.  The restrictions that these laws would impose are a travesty...  former Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli, with his vendetta against womens' rights, was defeated last November.  Let the voice of the people continue to be heard, and protect women's access  to critical healthcare services.
