amend the medically-unnecessary restrictions
 
  • 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.
  • 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.
