Repeal &!Protect Women of Virginia
 

To impose architectural regulations on women's health care clinics in the Commonwealth is ridiculous & will only send them send them across our borders.  If we don't take care of our women who will?  There are less than 20 state funded women's health clinics and they are well run and take care of their patients with optimum care.  Many 'procedures' do not even entail surgery, as you we'll know.  Women every day are faced with an already difficult decision and they will do what they have to  do.   These women (& girls) are every age and from every economic and ethnic background.  They are our sisters our daughters and our friends.  You probably don't even know ithat it could be your own daughter  You may be sitting next to one right now who has had to deal with this at some time in their life.  I know several.  To feel that the state is working against you is a terrible thing. We are 53% of the electorate.  Our voices and our bodies are our own.  We need more clinics, not less!  And if you think that this will go away by making it more difficult, it will not.
