I strongly support the current regulations on abortion clinics. These regulations should be make permanent and should include the strongest standards.
These regulations are commonsense and ensure that life-saving equipment is available, infections are prevented and clear written policies and building guideline are in place. They were written by medical experts at the Department of Health and approved 12-1 by the Board of Health.
Virginia abortion clinics must be regulated to ensure women's health and safety.
