Board of Health,

It is unthinkable that a tattoo parlor would require more oversight and have to be subjected to more scrutiny than an abortion clinic. How many more women will have to die in unsanitary and filthy abortion clinics before someone realizes that abortionists only care about one thing-money!Abortion is not about womens health. That is a scam they have sold to the American public. The horror of these unregulated clinics was recently brought to bear upon the public conscience by the discover of Kermit Gosnells chamber of horrors which operated in Philadelphia. Women died there and babies were born and then mercilessly killed after being born -- all with the complicity of city, state, and federal authorities who conveniently looked the other way.It is the responsibility of our elected leaders to protect the citizenry from dangers abroad and from within. By not regulating abortion clinics in Virginia, you are failing at that duty, and I personally believe will be held accountable before God one day.I urge you in the strongest possible language to pass legislation to regulate these clinics, since they are performing medical procedures which are invasive and dangerous.
