Regulations on Safe Women Medical Care & Available Clinics
 

I find it hard to believe that any Government is so involved with my body.  As a child I had some fear regarding Communism.  Now as an adult I fear my Virginia State Government.  Time frame in the procedure of an abortion is the only concern I have ever had, assuming that proper medical care along with updated methods would be the right course of action.  Please do not compromise my rights and quit trying to change the law of the land because of your religious beliefs.  My Doctors are the ones, along with myself, who look out for my medical needs.  I hope the the regulations will be amended to be based purely on science/medicine and should not impede women's access to essential health care.  The regulations should provide medical benefits to the patients and not create more financial burdens.  I am grateful that abortions are one of the safest medical procedures and if overregulated  it could limit access to the whole range of preventive reroductive health care services I need.

Thank you,
