Please amend TRAP regulations
 

The current TRAP regulations are medically inappropriate and place restrictions on abortion providers that are not aligned with regulations on other similarly risky outpatient procedures. Medical regulations should not be used to push political agendas. The medically unnecessary TRAP regulations will actually have an adverse effect on women's health, by forcing clinics to shut down. Please get rid of them.
