I support the Board of Health’s decision to amend the medically-unnecessary restrictionson women's health clinics.  I believe that the legislature overlooked the fact that many women go to these clinics for a variety of reasons and by forcing these changes they were cutting off access to more services than intended.  I also believe that these decisions should be made for medical reasons not political ones.

As a person who is deeply committed to ensuring that all Virginia women have affordable access to safe, legal 
reproductive health care, I applaud the Board of Health’s decision to stop letting politics drive decisions that affect women’s health.
