Eliminate TRAP
 

I am writing to urge the Board to eliminate TRAP regulations that are not medically necessary but represent an attempt to undermine the availability of abortions. Abortions are legal, as determined by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. They should be available and accessible according to a decision-making process undertaken by a woman and her doctor, NOT by legislators. Women's rights should not be abrogated by political subterfuge.

Thank you.
