Remove restrictions on health centers
 

The restrictions on women’s health centers in Virginia are about denying access to abortion, period. Three of 21 women’s health centers in Virginia have been forced to close or stop providing abortion services, in part due to these medically-unnecessary restrictions.

If the restrictions remain unchanged, additional health centers will close – cutting off access to preventative and critical health care for thousands of Virginia women. Now is your chance to fix these restrictions and keep Virginia women’s health centers open.
