I am from Virginia and graduated with my undergrad and Master's degree from Old Dominion University. At a time when women need more access to affordable, high quality health care, not less, I am disappointed to see politics as usual by your administration. Low-income women and rural women will have even less access to safe abortion care and family planning services. The regulations - specifically the time and resources required to physically alter health centers for no medical reason - are likely to increase financial barriers/hurdles for patients as well as reduce women’s ability to find a health care provider.
