Please Repeal the TRAP Laws
 

I urge you to repeal the onerous TRAP laws which were unjustly forced into being by the previous administration. These regulations have nothing to do with safety or protecting women's health. No other type of medical facility performing similar outpatient procedures is seen as a threat to women's health. These Women's clinics have an excellent record of safety. I would take my daughter or myself if need be to any one of them without fear of infection.  At the very least the existing clinics should be grandfathered in. No one believes that these regulations have any bearing on better health services being more easily received by women in need. We all know these are meant to close clinics down, so please don't insult my intelligence by making such false claims. Do the right thing and REPEAL these TRAP regulations! Thank you, Emily K-B Stone
