Board of Health,

Legislators, candidates, news pundits and even President Obama keep touting that there is a war on women. I think it is political hype, but what I do know is that Virginia citizens who knew the truth about the poor health standards required for abortion centers might think the war on women was for real. And, would think that the abortion centers were front and center in lowering the bar for the health of women. Please make the patients that are seen in the abortion centers a priority. Dont just "get by" with as little as possible in compliance with regulations for abortion centers. Put the patients health and safety first. Implement the highest standards for abortion facilities so that these women, already going through the most difficult time can have peace about their safety. Kristen Cooper
