Protect Women
 

Women are often pressured to abort and no one, not even the media, seems to care that most abortion clinics have pages and pages of serious recorded health and safety violations.  If you truly care about women you would not overlook simple protections that any human being should be afforded.  I doubt veterinary clinics would operate in the manner of most abortion clinics that perform such unnatural procedures on women such as forcibly dilating their cervix in a few minutes to then suction pieces of their living unborn child from their womb or dismember the child limb by limb.  Do they even tell women the truth about the long term emotional and physical consequences of their abortion?  How can this practice be considered humane and/or safe for women?   Women deserve better than abortion!  Have a heart!  It’s bad enough that abortion clinics remain open but to ignore basic rules for cleanliness and safety is asking for a continuation of Gosnell-type abortion clinics in Virginia.  Do not weaken clinic safety regulations!
