Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of Virginia women and must be maintained, not weakened. 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 is not healthcare because it ends lives instead of healing them. However, since abortion operates under the guise of healthcare, abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities. Simply, Virginia women deserve nothing less.
Here are a few changes I recommend the Board consider:
As a woman and a former RN, I think these suggestions are vital and necessary for women's health and safety. Abortion Centers ought to have regulations, equivalent to those in hospitals and other health care clinics, in order to provide women the safest care possible. Abortions are not without risk to those who have them; and women deserve to be protected.
Thank you for your consideration. Please ensure the health and safety of all women.
