Board of Health,

To hear about the terrible standards of the equipment and the physical condition of the abortion clinic where Dr. Brigham is doing abortions makes it clear that there have to be standards for cleanliness, and steriilzation of instruments, etc. From the description of his clinic, I would not take my dog there. We are talking about women going for an invasive procedure. If other states have banned this man, Virginia should investigate and do the same. If a state wants to protect its citizens, then it has to establish standards for medical clinics as well as other premises. Restaurants have to meet standards of cleanliness,and other medical offices and dentistry offices do as well. Keep the standards for abortion clinics. Aileen Velthuis
