Once again, women in Virginia are being forced to speak out to protect their rights. The high standard of care provided by women's health centers is proven by their impressive safety record. Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Overregulation will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment. To overregulate this area is just another way to attack women's right to choose and their right to receive safe, effecgive medical care.
