I strongly opposed the TRAP regulations when they first were proposed. I continue to oppose them. These regulations were only devised to stymie the work of women's health clinics. The size of a janitor's closet, for example, is not going to improve the health of Virginia's women. The only goal of these regulations is to deny a woman having a safe and legal abortion, but the regulations will also deny women other important health services when the clinics are forced to close.
