Please respect the women of Virginia, and protect their access to medical care by rejecting the implmentaiton of these unneccessary regulations. These regulations do nothing to improve medical care, but only act to limit access to healthcare, as they are oncerous, and have proven to be an immense burden on women's medical clinics across the stte. We've already seen the closure of one provider due to these regulations, which means that women lose a trusted resource that may be geaographically more accessible than other providers.

I am extremely disappointed that the board allowed themselves to be bullied by our Attorney General, and voted without regard for science and logic, putting politics over the needsof Virginia women.
