Preserve Vital Health and Safety Regulations for Virginia Women
 

The suspension of operations at a Fairfax clinic after inspections found 26 health and safety violations is proof that regulations are working and must be preserved.   They must not be watered down!   Violations continue to be found in clinics even during announced inspections.  

Abortion is not healthcare because it ends lives rather than heal them.  However, since abortion operates under the guise of healthcare, abortion centers must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities. Simply, Virginia women deserve nothing less.”
