Abortion is one of the safest outpatient procedures in modern medical practice, safer than many other gynecologic procedures; safer than having a colonoscopy, safer than having a dental procedure.

The additional TRAP regulations do not provide any additional safety. Abortion providers are already faced with regulating agencies that ensure safety, just like all other medical facilities. 

TRAP regulations target abortion facilities by requiring medically unnecessary and administrative burdens that could actually harm patient healthcare (ie; requiring a woman to a waiting period that could disqualify her from safe abortion to now requiring a more invasive procedure determined by her gestation, requiring state mandated paperwork that is inaccurate while potentially making her travel for healthcare services in a state where she doesn't live, emotionally taxing for women as they are asked by inspectors to be allowed to observe her procedure)

TRAP regulations do not provide a medical benefits, and serve no purpose in the common gynecologic practice of abortion.
