VA health board reverses its decision on abortion-clinic rules

Fucking Ken Cuccinelli.

[div class="excerpt"Virginia’s Board of Health reversed its June ruling and decided on Friday not to exempt existing abortion clinics from strict hospital-style building codes.

In a surprise move in June when only 11 members were present, the board voted 7-4 to grandfather existing clinics.

The reversal came after Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II wrote to board members suggesting that if they did not heed his advice against grandfathering, his office would not defend them in any resulting litigation, and that they could be personally on the hook for legal bills.

Abortion-rights activists shouted “Shame! Shame! Shame!” once the vote was taken, and were ordered out of the board room in a suburban office park in Henrico County.

“Virginia’s women are better off after today’s vote,” Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation of Virginia, said in a statement. “The hysterical claims of the abortion industry that today’s vote denies access to health care are simply untrue.”
