I support the Board of Health’s decision to amend the medically-unnecessary restrictions designed to close safe, trusted women’s health care centers in Virginia. As a person who is deeply committed to ensuring that all Virginia women have affordable access to safe, legal reproductive health care, I applaud the Board of Health’s decision to stop letting politics drive decisions that affect women’s health. It’s clear that the restrictions have nothing to do with patient safety and everything to do with inserting a politician between a woman and her doctor.
