Please don't play politics with women's health. Trust that women know what is best for themselves and their families - they don't need government intrusion into their private lives.
The TRAP regulations don't provide a safer health care experience for women - they impose artificial restrictions on women's health centers with the goal of limiting access to abortion services. The best way to reduce the number of abortions is to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in the first place, which means you have provide comprehensive health care for women, including birth control, education, and preventative care. These regulations are going to make that more difficult.
Please don't make the TRAP regulations permanent - all you will accomplish is a decline in women's overall health.
