We do not want the horrors of Gosnell repeated in the state of Virginia. Women who seek an abortion should be confident that they are getting quality care so they do not have medical complications such as infection, misuse of medication, etc. Frequent assessments must be made to ensure that abortionists follow protocols to protect the dignity of the women they purport to serve. The mental well-being of the patient must also be considered.
I recommend that the board:
OLC inspections to verify that ultrasounds have been performed 24+ hours prior to an abortion.
Aborition facilities must provide information on post-abortion counseling to patients.
Thank you for your consideration. Please ensure the health and safety of all women.
