Dear Sir/Ma'am:
Although I am nearly no longer of reproductive age it saddens me greatly that a women's right to safe access to all aspects of reproductive health is eroding as a result of actions and regulations such as those being put forth in Virginia. The regulations disguised as being medically beneficial to women are overly financially burdensome and could make reproductive health access impossible for many women.
Abortion is already a safe medical procedure and this attempt to limit access to it will also limit access to other family planning options as well cancer screenings, and testing for STDs.
Please consider the needs of all women in Virginia and the totality of their reproductive health care before the permanent inplementation of these regressive regulations.
Yours,
Anna M Cardenas
