Repeal of TRAP
 

Good evening,

I am in strong support for the repeal and re-writing of the current regulations of women's health centers by  The Virginia Board of Health to protect women's health. By doing this, the VA Board of Health will be preserving access to comprehensice reproductive care for all women.I am in full support of all health professions being regulated, but these politically motivated restrictions aren't necessary for patients' safety. Instead, these restrictions endanger women's health.

The current regulations of Virginia women's health centers are politically motivated, not medically. Doctors, health care professionals, and a majority of Virginians oppose these regulations. If the regulations are not repealed and rewritten, tens of thousands of Virginia women and families will lose access to critical medical care. Thank you for taking action for the health and safety of Virginia women. 

Sincerely, 

Megan Kettyle
