regulations for Women's Health Centers
 

I am vehemently opposed to the regulations approved by the Board of Health pertaining to Women's Health Centers.  These regulations are a poorly veiled attempt to single out physicians who provide abortion care and limit access to reproductive health care.  Interestingly enough, other medical providers are not subject to these new regulations.  Women's health care centers provide so much more than just abortion services.  What a mistake it would be, during these hard economic times, to deny women access to these affordable services.  This a a blatant political move by our anti-choice governor to impose his values on the citizens of Virginia.
