Remove restrictions on women's health care centers
 
We all agree on the importance of ensuring patient health and safety, but the restrictions on women’s health care centers in Virginia don’t do that. Medical experts, including Dr. Karen Remley, the former Virginia Health Commissioner, and the Virginia Chapter of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists oppose these restrictions because it’s clear that the restrictions have nothing to do with patient safety and everything to do with inserting a politician between a woman and her doctor.
