Women's Access to Health Care they need including abortions
 

I support the Virginia Board of Health's decision to amend medically-unnecessart "TRAP" restrictions designed to shut down women's health centers. I favor every effort to make sure that all women have access to all types of health care they need including abortion. Women's Health Care Centers are essentional to ensure that Virginia is a safe and healthy place for women and their families to live.

Women should not be forced to have more children than they can care for, raise properly, and educate in a way that they can make a significant contribution to our society. I never hear anything about providing the additional dollars that will be required to provide child care and rearing from advocates of unlimited births.  For the good of the children, it should be each women's decision as to when the time will be right to have children and how many she can afford to raise and educate.
