TRAP limits access to safe reproductive health
 

The TRAP regulations are unsubstantiated by any reasonable safety guidelines and are meant to restrict access to abortion for political reasons. A woman’s health decisions should be between she and her doctor. These regulations place a burden on both the patient and providers of safe reproductive health services.
