Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

I am writing tonight to express my concerns for the Health Standards needed for all Abortion Clinics in the Commonwealth of Virginia and that they REMAIN the way they are!We dont need more women dying in unsanitary clinics or ones that have narrow corridors, preventing EMTs from negotiating their gurneys down the said corridors; when a life saving emergency occurs.Since the current legislation was placed into Law a few years ago, over 300 infractions were found across the Commonwealth of Virginia. There were violations to the Parental Consent Laws, as well as a failure to report possible incestuous "Child abuse" with the rapist bringing their pregnant child in for an Abortion. While I am against abortions personally, I would not like to see young women further injured by having this procedure done with unsterilized needles, in rooms which are equally dirty and with Standard Life-saving Equipment missing! Women of all ages deserve BETTER! Jane F. Lawler-Savitske
