Statement from Victoria Cobb, president of The Family Foundation of Virginia, regarding today’s vote by the Virginia Board of Health
We are pleased that the Board wasn’t fooled by the abortion industry’s distractions from the real issue of abortion centers in Virginia found with bloody patient tables, unsanitized conditions and untrained staffs. An industry that has such widespread failure to protect the health of women should have no say in how it is regulated. Virginia’s women are better off after today’s vote.
The hysterical claims of the abortion industry that today’s vote denies access to health care are simply untrue. Today’s decision simply requires the industry to clean up its act. These centers can continue to offer any other service they provide even it they can’t meet these reasonable guidelines. They simply have to stop performing surgery unless they meet these standards.
So thankful for this. We needed some good news this week.
The 2 minutes of truth that you spoke was very impacting and moved the hearts of many, thank you for what you did!
Shalom
It’s my understanding that all facilities performing 5 or more first-trimester abortions per month are required to comply, including those who do only non-surgical abortions using medication. So is this press release accurate that “they simply have to stop performing surgery”?

Not so fast! The really big winners in the BOH decision will be the back alley abortion industry. AND, OH, HOW THEY WILL THRIVE!!!
Where are any of you when it comes to protesting wars? Wars do cause death and injury to the unborn ad well as the living.
Where are any of you in protecting the environment, i.e. clean air and water and safe food? Have any of you ever given any thought at all to an environment conducive to sustaining life for the unborn?
Have any of you thought about the increased taxes needed to support all these additional births?

[...] We could feel the prayers of pastors and pro-life Virginians! I cannot express enough of my gratitude for all of you who attended today’s meeting, or who prayed for us. The support was incredible, and I have no doubt it made an impact on the results. During a year where elected officials and others have been viciously attacked by the abortion industry and media, and abortion supporters have mobilized in large numbers, pro-life Virginians needed to show up and prove again that we are the dominant voice in Virginia . . . and show up we did!
