Board of Health,

Dear Virginia Department of Health,I am a citizen of Virginia and I am concerned about the safety violations at any clinic in the commonwealth. The purpose of any government entity is to protect the citizens from harm and to ensure the safety of its citizens. The number of health violations of many clinics that perform abortions is astonishing. If anyone is concerned about the safety or health of its citizens, wouldnt you err on the side of safety to protect versus assuming the clinic is safe" Just take the politics out of the equation and ask if this were any other medical specialty clinic, how would you proceed. I believe the answer is self-evident and the clinic would have to follow hospital protocols to protect its patients. thanks ouRobert CoxRichmond, VA Robert Cox
