TRAP Regulations
 

When these burdensome and unnecessary regulations go into effect, TRAP could force many of Virginia’s remaining women’s health centers to shut their doors, leaving thousands of women without access to essential reproductive care.

TRAP has absolutely nothing to do with protecting women’s health. Instead, these onerous regulations are designed to force the majority of women’s health centers in Virginia to close, and prevent Virginia women from exercising their constitutional right to safe, legal abortion.
