licensure of facilities providing abortions -- 12 VAC 5-412
 

I support the Board of Health's decision to amend the current regulations on women's health centers and to ensure that women's clinics remain open.  The current regulations contain restroctions that are not necessary for patients' safety.  Instead, they have just the opposite effect by causing safe and trusted health care centers to close -- making it difficult for women for women to obtain  safe and legal abortion, along with the other health care services these centers provide.
