What women want and what the abortion industry wants are two different things
 

What women want and what the abortion industry wants are two different things.

The abortion industry has fought regulation for years, yet repeatedly independent inspectors find serious deficiencies, even during announced inspections. Abortion centers are not able to self-regulate. Abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities.

Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of Virginia women and must be maintained, not weakened.
