Please Maintain Equal Standards for All Healthcare Facilities Including Abortion Clinics
 

Virginia lawmakers should require the same standards for health care quality at all clinics providing health care to anyone and not allow a lowering of health care standards for women's care, otherwise we risk discriminating against women, minorities,and those who seek abortions at these facilities.  Women deserve a high standard of quality care especially in this type of invasive surgery.  They deserve to be treated with just as much safety and cleanliness as anyone else at a medical facility.  Just because someone is having an abortion does not give the state the right to deny them the norm for safety standards.
