End Va. TRAP laws: Virginia women should make their own decisions about their bodies & health care.
 

TRAP has absolutely nothing to do with protecting women’s health. Instead, these onerous regulations are designed to force the majority of women’s health centers in Virginia to close, and prevent Virginia women from exercising their constitutional right to a safe, legal abortion. 

I was in college in the 1960's before Roe v Wade.  I knew fellow female students who got pregnant. 

Here's the truth:  the POOR females who had no choice got back alley abortions.  Some were permanently mutilated and many died. 

The RICH females were flown away to other countries for safe, secure abortions or their families 'arranged' for one through a family physician.  WEALTHY FEMALES WILL ALWAYS GET ABORTIONS, but without access to abortions you are condemning poor women to back alley mutilations or bringing children into this world who cannot be cared for.  

You cannot dictate morality for others, that is between God and an individual.  Religious morality has no place in public policy......remember the separation between church and state that our Founding Fathers established, this is why!
