Board of Health,

The abortion regs that have been passed should remain in place. The women who believe they have the right to have an abortion should want to have safety regulations in place to ensure their health. These regulations are for the protection of those people who want this medical procedure not to stop them from the opportunity to have an abortion. During inspections they have found many unsafe and filthy conditions which put women at an increased risk. All facilities that have surgical procedures should be held to the same standards. Shame on any group who puts financial gain over the health and safety of the patient! When considering a change in these regulations please keep the health of the women of Virginia the focus, safe and clean facilities where they obtain their care and treatment! Barbara Kersten
