These regulations are not necessary to protect womens' health or safety.  Other much more dangerous procedures than a first trimester abortion are performed in clinics and doctors offices on an outpatient basis with far fewer restrictions including oral surgery, cosmetic surgery and  colonoscopies.  It is probably more risky to get a tattoo than to take (e.g., the morning after pill) but we do not require tattoos to be done in a hospital type setting. The intent of these regulations is to impose someone else's ideological and religous beliefs on women.  The state should not dictate to a woman what she can or cannot do regarding her reproductive choices.  These regulations are burdensome and punitive.  The women of Va. are capable of making their own medical choices!
