Please reconsider providing less healthcare to women in VA. I cannot imagine what risks women may take attempting to find the services they want outside approved facilities.
The high standard of care provided by women's health centers is proven by their impressive safety record. Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Overregulation will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.
It is my hope that the regulations will be amended to be based purely on medicine and science and should not impede women's access to essential health care.
Thank you for reconsidering the future of healthcare for all VA women!
