Stop TRAP in its Tracks....
 

The TRAP regulations are medically unsound and a thin veil for anti-abortion groups to force the closure of medical centers providing abortion services.  With the human population at an all-time high, family planning is critical, and abortion needs to remain part of the picture.  Eliminating the service providers will force women to risk back-alley abortions or carry unwanted babies to term.  What will be the result?  More babies flushed into the sewers or found in dumpsters, both of which happened this week.  There is no evidence to indicate that current facilities are inadequate to meet women's healthcare needs.  Please stop this partisan, anti-women legislation.
