McAuliffe Changes to Abortion Facility Requirements
 

Governor McAuliffe -- you are urgently - urgently - requested not to change the regulations surrounding operation of Virginia's abortion facilities.  To do so is a gross attack on Virginia's women.  The abuses by the abortion industry in Virginia are legend - legend - concerning malpractice, sanitation, lack of training, misinformation, serious bodily damage, death, and on it goes.  Aside from what they do, altho' "legal," is immoral - how abortions are so often being done in Virginia is abhorant - the usual result of an unregulated industry of any type.

You are strongly asked to leave medical requirements in place.  Do what is right for the women of Virginia.  Stop the gross abuses of a system that "checks on itself" and finds that "all is well."  We need you to be a governor who can do what is right -- not to get votes.
