    Today's Poll Question

    POLL: What effect do you think requiring abortion clinics to meet the same structural requirements as hospitals will have?

    Proponents of the bill say it will protect women's health. Opponents say the bill is a way of restricting abortions. They note that the hospital-like regulations could force 17 of 21 clinics in the state to close, and point out that the regulations do not apply to clinics where other medical procedures, like colonoscopies, are performed. Read the full article here.

    • Force clinics to close
    • Make abortions safer
    • Reduce the number of abortions performed in Virginia
    • Force women to leave the state to have abortions
