Get your laws off women's bodies!! SCRAP TRAP
 

This entire TRAP and subsequent amendment requiring Clinics, which provide many more services to women than just abortions, to have to maintain a facility identical to a new hospital is outrageous and disgusting. I can't believe these kinds of laws are even being considered. Approving this amendment and subsequently continuing to enforce TRAP is just punishing women for being women. 

The services that these clinics provide are much needed and forcing them to abide by ludicrous building codes that some hospitals aren't event held to is offensive.
