The Virginia regulations for abortion providers/clinics need to remain in place.  Given the recent information concerning one abortion provider(Dr. Stephen Birgham) in the state, the regulations not only need to remain in effect but also be consistently enforced. A doctor who has had his license revoked in five states should not think that he can practice in VA without regulations in place to assure the health and safety of his patients.  Abortion is a surgical procedure and women need the assurance that it is being performed safely according to the standard medical practices for other surgical procedures concerning sterilization and access to emergency care should the need arise.
