Protect women by keeping clinic regulations
 

Board of Health,

In just two years, inspections have exposed widespread health and safety violations including blood splattered exam tables and equipment, unsterilized needles, incomplete lifesaving equipment, violations of Virginia parental consent laws, an absence of reporting of possible cases of child abuse, and many more deficiencies.Emergencies happen frequently at abortion centers and emergency personnel need to be able to get to patients in need and that involves having doorways and hallways wide enough to get emergency equipment to women in medical crisis.Virginia should not allow any facility that performs risky proceedures to continue operating in dangerous facilities. Protect women by maintaining these regulations. Daniel Davies
