The Unnecessary Targeting of Women's Health Care Centers.
 

The Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers is an ill-advised, ideological move on the part of  Virginia Legislators that do not speak for a large percentage of Virginians. These regulations will close many women's medical centers that only provide a small percentage of their clientel with abotion care while hampering other women from obtaining breast exams, pap smears, STD detection and treatment, as well as Family Planning information and acess to Birth Control. It is still beyond my understanding how targeting these clinics is in the best interest of Virginia's women and families while other out-patient services such as cosmetic surgery or Dental Offices are left alone. Please reconsider your stance on this issue.
