These trap laws are medically unnecessary as has been demonstrated by countless doctors who have testified against these laws like doctor cossio. These laws were clearly designed by people who's ideological agendas have inserted themselves into public policy. Not only is this dangerous because the laws will cut women off from medical services low income women without insurance rely heavily on. These laws also at their core are designed as a way for irresponsible ideologically motivated politians to cut women off from their constitutionally protected right to a legal and safe abortion. These TRAP laws should be repealed if not for their unconstitutionality but simply because of the negative effect forcing these clinics to close will have on thousands of low income Virginia women who rely on the cancer screenings and family planning services these clinics provide.
