Virginians: Tell the Board of Health to Support Women's Health Care

Virginians: Tell the Board of Health to Support Women's Health Care

The Issue

Thanks to legislation passed by anti-choice lawmakers, the Virginia Board of Health is currently drafting regulations that would limit women's access to reproductive health care. These regulations force health clinics to meet burdensome and unnecessary regulations.

The result? Some health centers may be forced to close, limiting the continued availability of safe, legal, first-trimester abortion throughout the state.

Virginia's women's health centers provide vital health care services like STD screenings, cancer screenings and family planning services, in addition to providing  legal and safe abortions. Burdening their operations with unnecessary regulations  would restrict access to these essential services and detrimentally affect young, low-income, uninsured, and minority women by furth reducing their health care options.

Tell Virginia regulators you don’t support medically unecessary and burdensome regulations that would restrict women’s access to comprehensive health care services.
