The prevciously passed  restririctive standards for women's health clniics in VA have nothing to do with safety.   Their purpose is to control a woman's choice if she finds herself with an unplanned, unwanted, and/ or   dangerous pregnancy.   It is  intended to force the closing of clinics that provide this service. These clinics also provide general medical care, birth control, cancer screening etc.  at a resonable cost. for women.

The choice to have an abortion can be an agonizing decision.  Sometimes it is the only answer to a bad situation.  All babies should be wanted and loved.  Forcing a contunuation of an unwanted pregnany may  lead to a disastor for the mother and baby. 

Our elected representatives (government) should not impose their beliefs on others. To choice an abortion  is a private decision and should remaine so.
