Trap Regulations
 

Once again writing to end TRAP regulations.  There is no point in making another case, the Supreme Court said it best.  How much time and money has been spent trying to stop clinics like Planned Parenthood who provide critical health services to women and men?  Thanks to their efforts to educate and provide birth control, abortions are no longer common place.  Virginia is being plagued with  drug addiction, Planned Parenthoods role in education and the clean needle program is instrumental in reducing AIDS.  Closing Planned Parenthood clinics will ascerbate the AIDS problem.  For a small group of people who claim to be pro life, yet do not support Medicaid Expansion, health care for families, pre and post natal care, we are willing to put women and men all over the Commonwealth in jeapardy.   Pro choice does not require any one to get an abortion or birth control, it simply allows a woman, her family and her doctor to make sound decisions about her well being.  TARP rules do nothing but hurt the women of Virgina.
