ABORTION CENTER REGULATIONS
 

Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of women in Virginia.  Current regulations must be enforced, not weakened.  The abortion industry has fought regulation for years, yet independent inspectors continue to find serious deficiencies, even during announced inspections.  For example, the book and the movie "Unplanned" illustrate that abortion centers are neither able to provide quality healthcare, nor self-regulate.  Furthermore, since abortion centers operate under the guise of healthcare, they must adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities.  Virginia's women deserve nothing less.

I feel very strongly about women's health.  Please ensure that the health and safety of all women are protected by maintaining and enforcing the abortion center regulations. 

Thank you for considering my views.
