Women's health care access
 

I am writing as a person of faith (United Methodist) and a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  I urge you to make and keep access to women's reproductive healthcare easy, affordable, and based on science, not emotion.  While I am personally opposed to abortion on demand, I believe it is a woman's right to make that choice for herself.  I am concerned that restricting abortion access will also restrict access to other needed healthcare.  This is something which would create a less healthy population---not a healthier one.  Please make access to women's reproductive healthcare open, unrestricted, affordable, and fully funded.
