I have been a registered nurse for 35 years.  The action about to be taken in Virginia saddens me as a health care professional.  Limiting access will limit credible acceptable health care.  In the case of abortion, legal or illegal, women will have one if they make that choice.  Please do not send this country and the State of Virginia back to the back alley abortions of the past.  The only thing you will accomplish is the death of women from a procedure that done correctly has a greatly reduced risk.

Thank you for your consideration.
