The TRAP restrictions do not make anyone safer or healthier. Instead, they seem designed to create impediments to women's access to safe, affordable care and will, most possibly, force women into making choices that are not in their best interest - having an unwanted child, having a child when not fiscally or mentally ready, seeking unsafe reproductive care outside of medical settings and spending money they may not have to travel elsewhere for care. Reproductive health care is legal in this country. These regulations represent an attack on that freedom.
These regulations have nothing to do with practicing medicine or improving health outcomes. They are political maneuvers aimed at attacking women's reproductive health care rights - rights that have been established since 1973.
Please reverse these restrictions. Your job is to support health care based on science. Do not let politics based on religious ideology take the place of science
