Virginia Society for Human Life (VSHL) applauds the Virginia Board of Health in supporting the emergency abortion facility regulations that it put in effect last September.
These new measures are needed to address the dangerous conditions that have been allowed to go unregulated in too many cases across the Commonwealth. Women’s safety has been put gravely at risk for many years in Virginia by unscrupulous abortionists.
Recent news stories about ghastly conditions in a Philadelphia facility highlight the need to protect Virginia women.
VSHL is grateful to the members of the Board of Health who voted for the regulations. Also, Virginians can be grateful to the Governor and General Assembly for their support of these protective measures.
“These reasonable regulations will begin to reign in reckless abortionists in Virginia,” said Olivia Gans Turner, VSHL President. “Tragically, important as they are, these regulations cannot guarantee the long-term wellbeing of women that obtain an abortion, nor do they protect the unborn children who lives are taken during every abortion.”
