Do not implement the new regulations for women's health clinics in VA.
 

The regulations are unnecessary as women's health clinics in VA are safe.  The intent of these regulations is to force clinics that offer abortion services to close.  Many low income women's health and, indeed, their lives will be in danger without these clinics.  How will you feel when the first death due to a septic abortion is reported when a VA woman is unable to obtain a safe abortion in VA?  I am old enough to remember when this was a common occurance.  Why does this administration continue to fail to protect the health of women in VA?  That is your job.
