I am writing in support of the Board of Health's recent decision to remove the current restrictions designed to close safe and trusted women's health care centers in Virginia.  As someone committed to ensuring that all women in Virginia have access to affordable and safe reproductive health care, I applaud the Board's decision to stop letting politics dictate decisions affecting women's health.

If the restrictions remain in place, health centers will close, removing access to affordable and convenient preventative and critical health care for thousands of Virginia women.  Please remove these puntative restrictions and allow these health centers to serve the women of Virginia without undue interference.
