TRAP Law
 

This is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt at closing down clinics that provide important healthcare for women. The requirements that were previously established are aimed purely at closing clinics, and hospitals are taking a hit because of ideological beliefs instead of actual care for patients' well-being.

Grandfathering clinics and hospitals is the only correct thing to do. I am ashamed of my state's leadership that this law has even come into existence in the first place, because it is clearly not directed at actual healthcare or safety. Please stop your assault on reproductive rights and control, it is not appreciated.
