Enact the Strongest Possible Regulations
 

I strongly support the current regulatiions on abortion centers that were enacted last year.  These regulations must become permanent with no watering down of the regulations.  If abortion centers cannot  be outlawed, then they must regulated to the most strict standards to require that they have life saving equipment on hand and immediately available with trained personnel to operate the equipment.  They must also be held accountable to meeting all the standards of a hospital to prevent infections. They must have building standards and written policies in compliance with the standards that were approved by the Board of Health.

Virginia's abortion centers must licensed, regulated, and inspected to ensure the safety and health of the women.

I am strongly opposed to abortion and abortion centers.  Abortion kills the life of a baby, who is alive and growing in the woman's  womb. No one has the right to kill that baby.  But  if this society continues to allow these centers to operate  they must regulated to most stringent standards to protect the life and safety of the woman seeking the abortion so there isn't 2 people as ar result of the abortion..
