Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

On average, Aborticide facilities in Virginia were cited for 22 violations EACH. Their claim to self-regulate is a laugh and insult to the citizens of this state. PROTECT VIRGINIA by requiring these self-demonstratively dangerous and UNhealthy butchers to meet the same standards as any other health care facility. -If the Beauty care industry violated THIS many standards, they would have long ago been padlocked until they cleaned-up their act. And with these Aborticide facilities,were talking about centers that perform INVASIVE PROCEDURES on people, not just cut hair & do nails!!!Respect the rights of women to receive care that is up to standard, RESPECT VIRGINIA. Require these operators to clean-up the dried blood, wash their instruments, follow THE LAW with respect to prescribing drugs and administering Anesthetics. CLOSE THEM if they dont! Thats the minimum expectation. Douglas McLean
