Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

Dear Members of the Board of Health,I am writing as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia to affirm my support for the position of valuing the safety and health of women by maintaining current Virginia laws and policies that require abortion clinics to maintain at least the same health and safety standards required of all health care/hospital facilities. Eliminating or minimizing such standards will only serve to compromise and put at risk the long term health of women in our state.Please leave the existing abortion center regulation in place. Phillip Herring
