restrictions on women's health centers
 

I support the Board of Health in their decision to amend the recent restrictions on women's health care centers in Virginia.  As a medical professional, I understand the importance of safety in health care centers; however, it is obvious that the recent restrictions unfairly target women's health care centers under the guise of "safety" but instead, the restrctions instead are limiting women's access to safe, legal reproductive health care in the state of VA.  As a women that has made use of these health care centers for reproductive screening and testing, I can not stress enough the importance that these health care services be available and affordable for all women.
