Medical procedures need to be regulated for safety and to ensure women are adequately advised on any procedures and their own health conditions.
Virginia has developed common sense balance of regulations over time, over many administrations which should remain in place. Removal of regulations are being pushed by highly paid activist organizations with a lot of paid people to be vocal and active in pressuring politicians. As a resident, I am not a paid activist, and don't want politicians to be influenced by out of state or internal paid lobbyist pressure.
Leave the regulations in place. Virginia has safety and common sense advisory measures in place, which need to remain in place. If anything, more should be done to protect the health of the woman and baby and to make abortion an even more rarely performed procedure.
