These restrictions are purely political and totally uneccessary. They hinder, not help protect women's health. I support the Board of Health's decision to amend these restrictions.
Medical experts, including Dr. Karen Remley, the former Virginia Health Commissioner, and the Virginia Chapter of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists oppose these restrictions because it’s clear that the restrictions have nothing to do with patient safety and everything to do with inserting a politician between a woman and her doctor.
