Amend the Current Regulations
 

Abortion should be accessible and safe for women in Virginia.  The regulations put in place under Governor McDonnell are a SHAM.  Widening hallways, larger janitor closets, more parking spaces DOES NOT provide SAFETY for women in Virginia.  Shutting down clinics will insure that women will be UNSAFE in the Commonwealth with fewer choices for preventative care, birth control and abortion services.  Please amend the current regulations.  Do not make clinics adhere to restrictive regulations that have nothing to do with women's safety!
