I'm writing to express my deep gratitude that the Virginia Board of Health voted to repeal medically-unnecessary restrictions that would have hampered and closed women's health centers and abortion providers in Virginia. It is clear from discussions with my neighbors that a lot of people would like to restrict and close women's health centers, because they want to control the medical choices of others... because they refuse to accept that a woman's healthcare is between her and her doctor. I am so glad that the VA Board of Health has chosen to respect the rights of all women, rather than honor the desires of some to deny healthcare access to others. Thank you for respecting the rights of all rather than bowing to political pressure.
