Mr. Mahoney,
I am a life-long Roanoke County resident and live in your district. I have one child who
has matriculated through Roanoke County Schools and another child in his junior
year at HVHS. My husband, an Arizona native, and I purposely wanted to raise our
family here, however, we are questioning that decision after reading in the Roanoke
Times about the consent agenda you voted for to limit women’s health availability. I
never thought Roanoke County would openly try to attack women in such a way. I
have no idea what “guardrails” Mr. Radford thinks we need to provide women health
access. Comparing women’s health clinics to vape shops, intimating that women
seeking reproductive health care are akin to drug users, is nonsensical. This is a
blatant political attack against women and we will do everything we can to voice our
extreme opposition to this zoning proposal from passing. We are not Lynchburg, nor
Washington County, referenced in the article, and I was always proud of of our
county’s ability to stay neutral and locally focused, but this disregard for Roanoke
women’s healthcare is abhorrent. Shame on you and the board for being so
heartless.
