Please reconsider this bill. There is absolutly no need to increase regulations on these facilities. Medically inappropriate and unnecessarily burdensome regulations would restrict access to essential health care services for the women of Virginia and further marginalize young, low-income, uninsured and minority women by decreasing their health care options. I understand that your goal is to make abortion illegal, but that will not happen. Please reconsider your signing, because you are putting hundreds of women at risk. It is 2012, focus on jobs. Not women's health.

The high standard of care provided by women's health centers is proven by their impressive safety record. Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Overregulation will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.
