TRAP REGULATIONS
 

Do not allow these useless regulations to affect the health care of women in Virginia. There is no public health care crisis for women seeking safe legal abortion in Virginia.  Abortion complications are a fraction of 1%. Abortion care is a health issue not a political one. These needless regulations harm patients and burden abortion care providers. This licensing scheme has no legitimate medical basis. These regulations do not make abortion safer and only make it harder for Virginians to access safe and legal abortion care .
