Preserving Women's Health through Standards
 

Please preserve the commonsense standards passed 2 years ago for abortion clnics. When VDH does regular inspections violations are found in many of the abortion centers throughout the state, indicating that self regulation is not realistic. Emergencies do occur in these centers and access for emergency personnel is a serious need... not optional ! Gov. McAuliffe would have us believe that the abortion industry needs little regulation. Of course, $2 million  toward his campaign just might influence his judgement. He is no medical doctor, but he is a businessman and he knows that reducing/eliminating regulation increases profits and salaries, even if it puts women's health and lives at risk.
