reject amendments to health and safety standards at abortion centers
 

Please reject the amendments to health and safety standards at abortion centers.  We need to have strong standards at every health clinic so that women in Virginia can be confident that they will not be receiving treatment tnat could damage their health.  As seen with Dr Gosnell this can be very real and to be avoided at all cost.  The abortion industry cannot police itself or we would not have had the failings that have resulted in closings already.  A woman's health is too important to just hope there are no failures in the abortion system.  Each woman in Virginia expects and deserves to have strong health and safety standards in the health clinic she goes to.
