Women's Health
 

Access to good health care should be made more available especially to working class and poor women.  Good health care includes the option of abortion, which should be decided by the woman with the help of her physician and anyone else she chooses to include her decision.  TRAP restrictions have nothing to do with women's health; they are solely to prevent abortions, even when to do so means that thousands of women will no longer have access to basic health having nothing to do with abortion.  TRAP retrictions are solely to hurt women and "keep them in their place."  TRAP should be voided immedaitely.
