TRAP restrictions are ineffective and dangerous
 

The regulations will not prevent abortions, only safety. Laws should protect against dangerous medical practices such as banning abortion doctors from entering hospitals and denying women birth control. Rather than restricting access to medical care, we should be improving safety and providing assistance to struggling mothers.
