TRAP
 

I oppose TRAP and I'm disgusted by the State of Virginia's "leadership" for this brazen attack on women's reproductive rights. I fail to see how these regulations will do anything but hurt women. They weren't created for our protection...they were created for blatant, disgusting politics. They're trying to stop abortion? Abortions will still be done; they just won't be done legally or safely. Why specifically abortion clinics, anyway? How many "surgical" procedures are performed in a doctor's office? Will all doctor's offices be mandated to meet the same requirements as a hospital? Does our governor and our lt. governor think we don't get what they're doing? We get it...we don't like it. We don't want this to happen. Put a stop to it before women start losing access to safe health care.
