Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

As a licensed physican in the state of Virginia I have very significant concerns about the poor quality of health care being provided to women at the many abortion facilities throughout our state. It is unthinkable to me that any clinic which calls itself a health care facility would have staff untrained in basic or advanced life support, that equipment would not be sterilized, that products of conception would be left between table joints and liters be unable to fit through doors. This is unacceptable for ANY health care facility in our state, no less one providing abortion services. I strongly urge the Board of Health to uphold these abortion facilities to the same standards that any other health care facility must meet. Please do not give in to the financial pressure of this multi-million dollar abortion industry. Womens health is not a matter of how much it costs, rather what is right and safe. Chelsea Brundage
