Scrap this TRAP crap!
 

TRAP regulations were imposed on Virginia women thanks to the political bluster and bullying of then-Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.   Now that "The Cooch" is gone, these nonsensical restrictions need to go, too. 

If these regulations were truly about women's health, why weren't they applied to the practice of endodontics and plastic surgery?  Both are riskier outpatient procedures than abortions.  Of course, we all know that women's health and safety has nothing to do with TRAP. 

Please erase this dark blot on Virginia history and scrap this TRAP crap. 

Thank you.
