Write to Your Local Paper

Write to your local paper to spread the word that women in Virginia require continued access to women’s health centers across the state.

The temporary regulations approved by the Board of Health and governor threaten the continued availability of safe, legal first-trimester abortion and comprehensive reproductive health care throughout the state. Rather than implement medically- proven policies, the Board of Health, under pressure from the Attorney General's office, passed regulations that will put women’s health at risk.

Now that the governor has accepted these temporary "emergency" regulations, proposed permanent regulations are being crafted by the Department of Health and will go before the Board of Health for a vote on June 15.

The permanent regulatory process will decide which regulations are placed on women’s health centers when the temporary regulations expire.

Make your voice heard by writing to your local paper, urging a stop to politics at patient expense. Demand that permanent regulations are based in medicine, not politics!
