Virginia's abortion facilities, like other health care facilities, need appropriate oversight
 
Any health care provider requires proper oversight to ensure health and safety standards. Abortion center regulations are no different, despite all the rhetoric. They are essential for the health and safety of Virginia women. Abortion centers should not be self regulated, since there are highly sensitive procedures, requiring certified doctors, nurses, and require specialized equipment. 

Please ensure the health and safety of all women by maintaining and enforcing the abortion center regulations.   

 

Thank you for protecting the health and safety of our fellow citizens.
