Abortion center regulations are essential for the health and safety of Virginia women and should be maintained, not weakened.
The suspension of operations at a Fairfax abortion facility due to 26 health and safety violations proves that the regulations are working and must be preserved as is.
Abortion centers, like most places of business, require outside monitoring in order to maintain the highest standards of health and safety.
Abortion centers should adhere to the regulatory standards of other healthcare facilities.
The health and well-being of Virginia women deserve this level of protection.
