Health of Virginia Women
 

I reviewed other comments regarding safety. It is interesting that Conservatives favor more restrictions in the interest of women's health with abortions but oppose restrictions in even researching gun violence much less gun regulation. Do not be swayed by individual "testimonies" by "victims". People die in dentist chairs, too. Most mistakes are operator-dependent and weeding out the bad actors is the answer, not intravaginal ultrasounds or facility overkill requirements.
