Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers is not protecting the health of women in Virginia. Access to safe medical procedures regarding reproductive health is a right women in all countries and certainly in the USA should have. With the enactment of this law, Virginia is presenting to the world how backward we have become regarding healthcare. Medical care should not be a  political issue or personal or Party agenda.To enact this law requires medical procedures despite proven medical facts saying they are unnecessary. 

Consider the financial burden on the States with this law. Clinics provide medical care at more reasonable costs than private medical offices and hospitals. Preventative health care saves the State money by reducing high-cost, critical, emergency care and hospitalizations. Closing licensed clinics will push women who cannot afford private doctor bills and may not even have health insurance at all, into emergency rooms. Emergency rooms CANNOT turn away patients. Therefore, patients are treated regardless of whether they can pay the expenses incurred for their care. If they have no means to pay these bills, the burden falls upon the State to pay. 

In the longer term, the State often pays for childcare, Medicaid, social services, food, shelter,  and other State-funded programs supporting families in need. Larger families require more services. What is the logic is preventing families from controlling their size? 

Please put aside Party morals regarding legal and safe abortion and consider the financial, medical, and societal consequences of taking away personal choice in a country founded on personal rights to freedom.
