Repeal unnecessary TRAP regulations which harm and degrade women
 

TRAP regulations are totally unnecessary and have no medical basis. They will restrict women's access to care for political reasons. They target facilities which provide abortion services and are opposed by the medical community. Not only do the regulations not protect women, they pander to an ignorant and uneducated segment of the community that has not one bit of interest in women nor one scintilla of medical or ethical background for their opinion. Women do not need law makers or fanatics interfering with their difficult and private medical decisions. The regulations are repugnant and denigrate women. I hope the Board of Health will reject these harmful and uneeded regulations.
