Board of Health: Accessing Healthcare Services
 

As a citizen of the United States and of the commonwealth of Virginia, I expect to be able access common health care procedures.  To learn that the governer is placing placing unnecessary, extensive, and burdensome regulations on women's health care centers standardizing the size of hallways and rooms is troublesome.  It says to me the governor values religious/moral principles over the rights documented in the United States Constitution.

Women's healthcare is healthcare and healthcare includes women's healthcare such as pregnancy test, gyncological exams, and abortion services.  The regulations proposed by the governor targets healthcare for women unfairly.  The regulations threaten the continued availablity of safe, legal abortions and other preventive reproductive healthcare procedures in locations throughout the state.

Please do not place moral convictions over MY right to my body, to my health, to make my health care decisions.  I want access to reproductive services.  I want access to abortion
