Abortion Facility regulations
 

As a Virginia Woman who has had an abortion, I strongly support the need for these reasonable and protective regulations.  I remember the dirty condition of the medical office where I went to get my abortion. It was a shock to see stains on the exam table and the grimy conditions of the whole building.  The doctor/abortionist even had dirty hands when he examined me. I was distressed and disgusted. I was afraid but desparate so I had the abortion.  I am just lucky i left without an infection or worse.  Women deserve to be protected from reckless situations like the one I faced. Please maintain these new regulations and show that the Board of Health puts women's safety before the abortion buisness.  Thank you.
