Repeal 12 VAC 5-412, a burdensome, anti-health regulation. Women's clinics must stay in business as they provide essential healthcare not easily available at the public hospitals. The public hospital clinics send many of their patients to the women's clinics for mammograms, colposcopies, and other non-abortion procedures. If Virginia's women's clinic are forced to shut down due to crushingly burdensome regulations, the public hospital clinics will need to be expanded to accommodate the overflow of patients.

If 12 VAC 5-412 cannot be repealed, then it must be expanded to include all other doctors' offices that perform procedures, especially oral surgery, which require sedation or anesthesia. Anesthesia can be fatal to people with heart or lung problems. The same ability to accommodate ambulance medics and stretchers and such should really be required of all outpatient procedure locations.

Finally, abortions are legal in the US and the Virginia legislature has no business interfering with a woman's medical requirements.
