Grateful for vote of Virginia Board of Health
 

I support the Board of Health's decision to amend the  medically-unnecessary restrictons designed to close safe, trusted women's health centers in Virginia.  As a woman with a nursing background who remembers the days before abortion was legal and health screenings were available to many folks, I witnessed what can happen to women when in desperation they attempt to bring about an abortion themselves.  When I was a young nurse I cared for such a woman as she was dying.  Please don't let this kind of thing happen again.
