Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

The 300 health and safety violations in the past, say to me that Virginia needs to uphold the health and safety standards we have for abortion centers. Do not put Virginia women in danger by diminishing those standards in any way.Would you yourself or anyone in your family go to a doctor who had blood splattered exam tables or unsterilized instruments, or who violated Virginias parental consent laws"Of course not. You need to retain these safety standards and even increase inspections and penalties to bring the abortion clinics into compliance with those standards, all for the sake of womens health.It is a shame to Virginia that anyone is even considering lowering health and safety standards for women.Do not be party to endangering womens health. UPHOLD THE STANDARDS. David Riggan
