TRAP Should be Rejected
 

These proposed regulations are unnecessary and burdensome, and  will restrict women's access  to critical medical care. The high standard of care provided by women's health centers is proven by their impressive safety record. Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Overregulation will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.

TRAP represents government over-reach at its worst, and should be rejected.
