Action | Regulations for Licensure of Abortion Facilities |
Stage | Final |
Comment Period | Ended on 6/19/2013 |
The regulations imposed on Virginia abortion clinics are deceptive to the maximum, for their purpose is not to insure health of women using the facities, but to stamp out abortion rights. You can have all the regulations you want, but accidents will still happen. Accidents harmful to patients' health happen in the best hospitals. The regulations on clinics that provide abortion services are way overboard especially because these clinics provide so many other services to improve womens' health, like cancer screenings. So I strongly oppose these regulations. They should be rolled back and not put in the service of the Republican candidate for governor. Remember, the head of Virginia's health department resigned because she knew these regulations were wrothless except for narrow, ugly, crass political purposes.
