Regulations should be based on health care needs, not politics. Targeted Regulations Against Abortion Providers have nothing to do with women's health and everything to do with limiting access to safe and legal abortion.

As currently written, the requirements  are likely to increase financial barriers/hurdles for patients as well as reduce women's ability to find a health care provider.

The current regulations require extensive, medically unnecessary and inappropriate renovations to meet building standards designed only for new outpatient surgical hospitals, not existing health centers.

Women in Virginia need better access to affordable, high quality healthcare, not politically-motivated barriers. After working in public health for over 30 years in Virginia, I am dismayed by regulations that are anti-women.
