I wonder if an unintended consequence might not be the flourishing of abortion clinics in VA. If I were a woman who lived in DC/MD/NC/WV/PA/DE or any nearby state, and I were contemplating an abortion, I might think my safety would be worth the trip to VA.

You’re probably right ,, I can see that happening ,, and that’s OK ,,, we just need to get similar legislation enacted in every state ... at the very least it’ll drive up costs. I think it’ll benefit PP more than anyone ,, they have the money to comply ,, most “independants” will struggle..
I personally think that the biggest area of attack is $$$$ ,, I’m sure they underreport “sales” and once controls are in place where we KNOW they are using a fresh cannula for each patient it’s a simple matter to see they report 30 sales but used 45 disposable devices (currently they would use only 1 or 2 for 45 patients) .. they are hiding 1/3 of sales.
It’s amazing that similar legislation isn’t being pushed by the pro-abortion groups in every state, isn’t it? The thought of going to a non-sterile environment should terrify them. Wasn’t that one of the selling points in the ‘pro choice” position, that it would be safe?
Yet, in VA, after having initially supported the legislation, those same groups decided to oppose it this year. And, I’m sure it had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with VA now having a GOP governor.
