Keep Regulations in Place
 

I am as qualified as anyone to speak about this issue because I am a woman, as well as a life-long resident of Virginia.  If these clinics are about women's health, then they should be held to the same regulatory standards as other medical facilities in the state. This is commonsense.  The fact that Governor McAullife has made it so that this issue is being addressed yet once again, shows that he is not concerned about women's health and well-being, but instead, appeasing special interest groups. Please keep these safety regulations in place.
