Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

Please support high professional standards for all womens health clinics in Virginia. I went to your recent public meeting. While the public comments to support high standards were supported with statistics and scientific information, the abortion advocates simply said that theyre tired of criticism. That said a lot!Medical standards are established for the sake of the patients and the safety of the providers. Surely, women receiving abortions deserve no less than the legal standards of anyone else in the Commonwealth. Does the abortion industry police itself" Clearly not. Recent finding in the state and information about Stephen Brigham are proof that Virginia needs to enforce the existing laws. Lorna Swenson
