TRAP = Unnecessary Buereauracy
 

It is shameful and embarrassing that Virginia is wasting time and money on the unnecessary "emergency" TRAP regulations.  Limiting access to abortion and creating barriers to providers does not eliminate the need for these services.  Aboriton remains one of the safest medical procedures avaliable and is a private decision for women and their families.  Virginia is trying to turn back the clock on Women's RIghts.  The structural and architectural burdens TRAP places on clinics are irrelevant to providing women with safe and appropriate medical care.
