Repeal of Medically Unnecessary Restrictions on Abortion and Health Care Centers
 

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. I applaud the Board's decision to not let 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.  All of Virginia's women deserve to have affordable access to safe, legal reproductive health care.
