I am a religious leader, theologyand ethics educator and I am writing to ask the Board of Health to make its decisions for regulating Abortion Clinics in Virginia specifically, but all medical facilities based upon evidence of direct impact on safety and healthcare of patients.  Hallway sizes, specifications in water fountains, and other extraneous suggested regulaitons for facilities do not have direct impact upon the health and safety of patients.  

Please do not allow our state regulations to be quided by the TRAP regulations being proposed which will have negative outcomes for clinics currently operating in our state. 

Sincerely,

Rev. Dr. Faith B. Harris
