I oppose the TRAP regulations
 

I strongly opposed the TRAP regulations when they first were proposed.  I continue to oppose them.  These regulations were only devised to stymie the work of women's health clinics.  The size of a janitor's closet, for example, is not going to improve  the health of Virginia's women.  The only goal of these regulations is to deny a woman having a safe and legal abortion, but the regulations will also deny women other important health services when the clinics are forced to close.
