It is essential that we protect the women of Virginia with safety regulations for Abortion clinics. Unsterilized equipment, untrained personnel giving anesthesia are the norm for these unregulated clinics and it is extremely dangerous for the young women having abortions. Anesthesia mistakes and infections can seriously harm or kill a person having a surgical abortion, which is very significant surgery.

It would be unethical to subject our young women to an unsafe environment. We must keep these regulations!

Sincerely . Martha Maturi M.D.
