Roll back these harmful restrictions!
 

I support the decision to amend the restrictive and harmful clinic regulations. Women are not the property of either the state nor of any other person. We have dominion over our own persons and should not be prevented from seeking appropriate medical care by an obstructionist state government bowing to religious zealots and partisan politics. There is no science or data supporting these clinic restrictions. It's politcal. And the Board of Health has a responsibility to better serve the women of Virginia.
