I reject the premise that abortion is “health care” because it ends lives instead of healing them, but as long as the abortion industry is allowed to operate within the health care system it must be required to adhere to well-defined health and safety standards.  Virginia's abortion centers must be licensed, regulated, and inspected to protect women's health and safety.  I strongly support the current regulations on abortion centers approved last year.  These regulations should be made permanent and should continue to include the strongest standards.
