Gov. McDonnell playing politics with women's health
 

If the "emergency" anti-choice regulations passed by Gov.McDonnell are finalized by the Virginia Department of Health, then women's reproductive rights are in jeopardy.  The governor ignored the recommendations of the scientific community, choosing to put his personal religio-political agenda ahead of factual data, at the expense of women.  It is predicted that the regulations that Gov.McDonnell is pushing will actually make reproductive health care more expensive, putting quality medical care and family planning services further out of reach for low-income women.  Please show the women of Virginia that you care about their health and well-being by making qualtiy, affordable reproductive healthcare accessible to everyone.  Thank you.
