The regulations should be based solely on medicine and science and should not impede women's access to essential health care.

The proposed regulations are overly burdensome and unnecessary.  They have no proven medical benefit and will only serve to reduce or eliminate patient access to health care.

Instead of improving safety, these regulations will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.

Women in Virginia need more access to affordable, high quality health care, not less.
