TRAP legislation
 

Cuccinelli's attempt to prevent Virginia's existing abortion clinics from being grandfathered in under the new regulations passed by the Board of Health is selective enforcement at its finest. He is clearly attempting to bend the rules to serve his agenda. Gandfathering either is or is not allowed, and if its not then the Virginia Board of Health needs to make sure that all hospitals that have been grandfathered in under previous changes to hospital building code/regulation are closed until they can be brought up to code. That is, if this really is about the health and safety of Virginia's citizens and not just a case of government (and one arrogant, self-righteous Attorney General) overstepping its bounds to police the private lives of its citizens.
