Virginian Women Deserve Access
 

I understand that people want abortion centers to be safe for women, however the TRAP regulations do not do that. Women's clinics that offer abortion services are already safe for women by regular clinic standards. The TRAP regulations end up hurting women and their access to health care because the clinics they target offer other services to women. Because of TRAP health clinics are closing because they cannot afford the costly upgrades that are required. These upgrades are not necessary to provide safe conditions for women and shouldn't be forced on health clinics. 

Virginian women deserve access to safe and legal abortion centers and health clinics.
