The abortion industry does a poor job in regulating itself
 

Please do not relax the safety standards at abortion clinics.  As past practice proves these clinics continue to push the envelope to provide the bare minimum of care to women that can compromise their health.  We need to require Virginia women that chose abortion to have good care.  In January 2014, 36.6 percent of patients that had medication abortions needed a repeat medication dose or a surgical procedure to complete the abortion.  This is unacceptable and Virginia women shouldn't have to accept substandard care.
