Repeal
 

Please repeal these unnecessary restrictions on abortion care providers.  These rules are politcally motivated, not medically necessary, and will ENDAGER women's health.  I am a resident of Virginia and don't want to see women's right to healthy options removed. You have NO business legislating your religion to try to control women's bodies.   Please respect our ability (as women of Virginia) to make the right decision for ourselves in consulation with our healthcare provider. Nothing of this legislation smacks of less government, the war cry of conservatives. In states where access and education are available to women for their healthcare, the abortion rate has dropped significantly. In states with low access, teen pregnancy is on the rise, placing greater burden on the public.
