Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of Virginia women. Since abortion operates under the guise of healthcare, abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities. Virginia women deserve nothing less.
Abortion centers are either unable or unwilling to self-regulate. The abortion industry has fought regulation for years, yet independent inspectors repeatedly find serious deficiencies, even during announced inspections. This demonstrates the necessity of maintaining and enforcing, not weakening, abortion center regulations.
Please ensure the health and safety of all women by maintaining and enforcing the existing regulations. Thank you for your consideration.
