Please review regulations and keep abortion clinics accessible
 

The Board of Health must completely review and rewrite the current regulations of women's health centers to protect women's health and preserve access to comprehensive reproductive care including abortions.

 
All health facilities should be regulated, but these politically motivated restrictions aren't necessary for patients' safety. They restrict access to facilities and endanger women's health by forcing women to resort to using unregulated providers.
 
Current regulations of Virginia women's health centers are about politics, not medicine. Please use common sense and create regulations that are fair for all.
