The Board of Health must repeal and rewrite the current regulations of women's health centers to protect women's health and preserve access to comprehensive reproductive care. Current regulations of Virginia women's health centers are about politics, not medicine. Doctors, health care professionals, and a majority of Virginians oppose these regulations. If the regulations are not repealed and rewritten, tens of thousands of Virginian women and families will lose access to critical medical care. The current burdensome and medically-unnecessary regulations will close women's health centers, restricting access to the comprehensive health care these centers provide, like critical cancer screening and birth control, including abortion. I urge the commissioner and board of Health to rescind these politicized restrictions and begin drafting new regulations that rely on evidence-based medicine. Obviously the current system isn't working. My friend is practicing responsible birth control by using the implant (which she had to pay hundreds of dollars for) and not that she lost her business and needs help, she can't get the implant removed (as it has expired an now bleeding way too much). She can't even get checked out for cancer. She's only 37 years old. This kind of treatment is unacceptable. Why are women who are responsible unable to get help yet the system helps women who keep having babies and get on welfare. Women like me who got married, had a child ( unfortunately my child has autism) and my husband left when we got the diagnosis and he became a deadbeat dad. I lost everything. I became disabled. I received no help yet I see people getting help and having multiple babies. I only have one and can't get any help. There is no help for people or families dealing with autism. Stop rewarding irresponsible people and start helping responsible people.
