Board of Health,
I write to express my concern about enforcement of health regulations for abortion clinics in Virginia. The fight for legal abortion was motivated by a desire to ensure the health of women by providing safe locations as alternatives to "back alley" abortions. Now that women have secured their right to abortion, I ask you to work with equal vigor to ensure the safety of the clinics where they go.As Board members, you understand what constitutes healthy clinical environments and the importance of maintaining and enforcing appropriate standards. For the sake of womens health, I ask you to ensure that those standards are evenly enforced.Respectfully, Eric DeGroff
