Board of Health,

I feel that the example below which took place at the so-called Roanoke Medical Center for Women, clearly spells out why we need more stringent regulations in these abortion mills. This took place in fairly large city, Roanoke, God know what else goes on in some of these back woods undeveloped areas. Common sense demands stricter regulations NOW !

Dear Members of the Board of Health,

Please maintain strong abortion center regulations. Since the regulation process began, health department inspectors have uncovered hundreds of health and safety violations. An especially troubling revelation was made at the Roanoke Medical Center for Women, where inspectors documented that a 16 year-old and two 14 year-old girls had abortions without documented parental consent. The abortion industry has fought regulation for years claiming it can regulate itself, yet repeatedly independent inspectors have found serious deficiencies, even during announced inspections. Abortion centers are not able to self-regulate. Abortion is not healthcare because it ends lives instead of healing them. However, since abortion operates under the guise of healthcare, abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities. Simply, Virginia women and minor girls deserve nothing less. Thank you for considering my perspective on this important matter.

Just repeat my above comments, please let your conscience be your guide. David Garner
