Current Laws

Dear Legislator,

All too often issues of women's health in Virginia are defined by dangerous and divisive attacks on a woman's right to choose safe and legal abortion. All the while, pro-active solutions to prevent unintended pregnancies and expand access to health care for Virginia women are ignored.

Virginians like me care about common ground solutions that bring us together to improve women's health. We do not want more of the same: dangerous and divisive attacks that put politics before sound policy.We can work together to improve access to comprehensive, medically accurate sex education for our young people.We can increase access to safe, affordable contraceptive services to prevent unintended pregnancies.

Like many, I am tired of repetitive attacks on a woman's right to choose in Virginia while the real needs of Virginia women and families are ignored. Constituents like me want solutions, not more problems; that's why I'm urging you to consider supporting pro-prevention initiatives when the legislature reconvenes in 2013.

I thank you in advance for your support of healthy Virginia families.
