Regulations are NOT medically necessary. Medicine should be left to doctors, not politicians!
 

These regulations are purely political, not based on science, medicine, or fact. Politicians should be left OUT of medicine! Unless you have a medical degree, politicians, you are not able to make medical decisions!

Women, with the consultation of their doctors, are the only ones able to make the best decision about the fate of a pregnancy. These regulations are not attempts to make an already safe medical procedure more safe, but rather, an attempt to make an already safe procedure more difficult to get.

Remember during the health care debate, when conservatives were all up in arms because they feared "Obamacare" would put the government between patients and their doctors? That is exactly what is actually happening right now. The Virginia Legislature is trying to put the goverment between a woman and her doctor.
