Please Maintain Essential Health and Abortion Safety Regulations
 

 

Board of Health,

Dear Members of the Board of Health,

As a BSN RN and Virginia resident, we must put womens safety first in this matter. Unfortunately, abortion ends lives rather then saving them which is contradictory to health care.  Nevertheless, we must consider the increased risk for infections, necessity to maintain universal precaution when blood and body fluids are present, and the possible inability to maintain this without properly trained individuals.  We've all learned the disasters that can arise from poor practice in health care with the Ebola Crisis.    It would be foolish to proceed with this change.  Please maintain health and abortion safety regulations.
 Theresa Scigliano
