End regulations that target women's clinics
 

Let's be fair! Repeal the onerous regulations that needlessly impose onerous standards on just one kind of clinic -- women's clinics! Let's stop making women's bodies captive to the state and the moral whims of legislators. Please restore sanity and reason to the state health board, which lost credibility when it used its powers arbitrarily to make it harder for women's clinics -- and women's clinics alone -- to provide critical health care services. Women's clinics should not have to meet standards not required of other outpatient clinics. Women should not be targeted by regulations designed to make it harder for us to exercise our Constitutionally protected right to an abortion. Please repeal the unfair regulations and restore sanity to how health care standards are applied in Virginia! Thank you!
