Enact the strongest possible permanent regulations
 

 

Virginia's abortion centers must be licensed, regulated, and inspected to protect women’s health and safety. 
The current regulations are reasonable, common sense measures to ensure that life-saving equipment is on hand, infections are prevented, and that clear written policies and building guidelines are in place.  They were proposed by medical experts at the Department of Health and were approved 12-1 by the Board of Health. 
I reject the premise that abortion is “health care” because it ends lives instead of healing them, but as long as the abortion industry is allowed to operate within the health care system it must be required to adhere to well-defined health and safety standards.
I work in the healthcare industry and we do not see pregnancy as a "Desease," I do not wish my tax dollars paying for the termination of a life, any life, for the convience of someone who is so self centered as to seeing the life cerated as something that is disposable.
