PROTECT WOMEN - UPHOLD STANDARDS
 

Please uphold the standards set forth in the law being discussed to protect women.  Common sense regulations include:

  • Maintaining medical equipment, supplies and drugs to manage potential emergencies
  • Patient rights and patient services such as a process for registering complaints against the abortion facility to the Virginia Dept of Health, having a staff member certified to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on-site for emergency care when abortions are performed.
  • Infection prevention
  • Policies and procedures outlining criteria for discharge from anesthesia care.
