Repeal current abortion rules
 

The current laws/rules concerning abortion clinics and patients should all be repealed.  The current rules/laws were instigated by the former attorney general of Virginia due to his personal beliefs, not necessarily those of the women of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  He wanted to abolish all abortion clinics and did not care about the health and welfare of the women themselves, only his own wishes.  He should have been thrown out of office - and it seems he  actually was during the next election for governor.

Realistic rules/laws that conform to the same rules/laws as other medical facilities - not hospitals - within the state can be applied to provide safe/clean clinics. Abortion is legal in the United States.  Government officials in states like Virginia and Texas should not try to circumvent Federal Laws to push their own agenda.  Enough is Enough.  Stay out of the bedroom!  That subject belongs between the woman, the father, and her doctor.  States should work to fix the big problems: the economy, unemployment, gun violance, the infastructure, drug use,etc.
