End TRAP and stop trying to regulate or end abortions
 

Since she said it so well, I would like to echo what Suzanne said earlier: "These regulations are not medically necessary and may be dangerous as they force women to wait and/or travel to obtain an abortion.  They serve one purpose only - to close reproductive health clinics and impede a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy safely.  End them now - let's stop pretending they provide any safety measures."
