Board of Health,

I would like to register our opinion that abortion centers must uphold the same health and safety standards that all medical facilities are required to uphold. We close restaurants down when they are not clean; we dont let them operate if their kitchens dont meet standards. Do we not treasure life more than this to hold the abortion clinics to the same standard" If a woman chooses to have an abortion, shouldnt there be safety standards in place to ensure that the facility where this is done is clean, the utensils are sterile and the procedures prescribed by law are followed"I would strongly urge the state of Virginia legislators and governor to be sure that the law is upheld and that good laws are in place to ensure the safety of patients who make this choice.
