Board of Health,
Let Virginia lead the way in providing safe and sanitary health care for its citizens. No medical procedure needs to be exempted from wise standards of sanitation and no procedure should ever be exempt from inspection and oversight to guarantee its integrity and safety. Abortion services do no one any good if they are allowed to operate outside of the rules that apply to all other forms of surgical procedure. Uphold the law that requires this normal and customary degree of compliance from abortion providers in the same way Virginia requires it of other medical services. Amy L. Brink, Chester
