TRAP laws are medically unnecessary!
 

TRAP requirements set standards that are intended to be difficult, if not impossible, for providers to meet.  Instead of improving patient care, these laws endanger patients by reducing the number of abortion facilities that are able to stay open under these constraints, thus making safe services harder to obtain.
