Current regulations for the licensure of abortion facilities are absolutely necessary for the TRUE protection of the health, safety and welfare of women.  While neither over-reaching nor politically motivated, these common-sense regulations honor morality in medicine and speak to the Hippcoratic Oath and its plea to "do no harm."  

The general public is ignorant to the shenanigans and purposeful rule/law-breaking that take place in abortion clinics.  It is imperative that Virginia's women (and those crossing state lines) are never exposed to the horrors of substandard clinic regulations like those in Pennsylvania, for example.    

I appeal to the Board of Health, in the simplest of terms, to stand firm and do what is right for women: Retain current regulations.

Thank you!
