TRAP: As a Virginia Woman, I Support Amending These Regulations
 

As a Virginia Woman, I Support Amending These Regulations  

I am a Virginia woman and I support the Board of Health's decision to amend the medically-unnecessary restrictions that will close safe, trusted women's health care centers that provide abortions. In order for women to participate fully in our democracy, we must have access to services that enable us to plan our families, safeguard our health, and pursue educational and employment opportunities. Access to all forms of reproductive health care, including birth control and safe, legal and accessible abortion, is an economic and family issue as well as a health issue. Please ensure these women's health centers remain open.

Thank you.
