Transparent and Legitimate Regulation of Abortion Centers
 

Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of Virginia (and all) women and must be maintained and enforced, not weakened in order to accommodate a minority of people who intend to use taxpayer money to cover "healthcare" in order to abort human beings.  The abortion industry has fought regulation for years, yet repeatedly independent inspectors find serious deficiencies, even during announced inspections.  Who is covering for these deficiencies?  Why are they putting women at grave risk for a clearly political agenda?  Abortions centers have clearly shown that they cannot and will not self-regulate in order to continue pushing an agenda.  Furthermore, since abortion operates under the guise of "healthcare," then abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of legitimate healthcare facilities.  Simply stated, women deserve nothing less.  Please ensure the health and safety of all women by maintaining and enforcing the abortion center regulations.  Don't bow down to a certain political agenda.  Think only of the safety of women.  Thank you for your consideration.
