Abortion Center Health and Safety Standards
 

Governor McAuliffe has been provided amenmdmenmt suggestions from Planned Parenthood that would weaken legilation designed to protect women and provide health and safety regulations for abortion clinics.  It may be common practice for affected organizations to seek to change legislation for their own self-interest, but I urge that these considerations be laid aside in favoir of the protection and safety of clients as well as workers.
