The number of stories from past abortion workers and women who have had abortions about unsafe and unsanitary conditions is frightening. 

Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of Virginia women and must be maintained and enforced, not weakened.  The abortion industry has fought regulation for years, yet repeatedly independent inspectors find serious deficiencies, even during announced inspections. Abortion centers are not able to self-regulate. Furthermore, since abortion operates under the guise of healthcare, abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities. Simply, Virginia women deserve nothing less.

Please ensure the health and safety of all women by maintaining and enforcing the abortion center regulations. Thank you for your consideration.
