TRAP regulations will create extensive, burdensome requirements for clinic buildings that are unrelated to the services health centers provide, have no proven medical benefit, and will reduce or eliminate patient access to health care.

The high standard of care provided by women's health centers is proven by their impressive safety record. Over-regulation will limit access to a wide range of preventive reproductive health care services provided by women's health clinics, including life-saving cancer screenings, family planning, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.

It is my hope that the regulations will be amended to be based purely on medicine and science and should not impede women's access to essential health care.
