Existing regulations on Abortion facilities
 
  • Abortion is an elective surgery and although I do not support terminating the life of the child living in the God given sanctuary of the mothers womb, all possible safety measures should be in place to support her safety.  

Hospitals have learned the hard way that not having the proper care immediately available for a woman undergoing an Abortion could prove fatal.  So what is your motivation to water down the existing regulations currently in place ?  Have you been influenced by some  outside group(s) that the health and welfare of the women seeking Abortions is secondary to their selfish interests ?  

Leave the currently in place regulations alone  and use your time more wisely to protect Virginians from real health issues.
