TRAP regulations
 

As many people know the TRAP regulations were Cuccineli's way of resticting access to abortions.If he was so concerned about women's health why are these regulations not put upon plastic surgeons and oral surgeons,who actually do surgical procedures in their offices under general anesthesia.General anesthesia is rarely used for an abortion. As a member of the healthcare system I have a hard time understanding why it's acceptable to restrict women's access to healthcare by burdensome regulations.If a woman wants an abortion she will find a way to have one whether its legal or not,there by compromising her health and welfare. Grandfather clause in all existing abortion clinics.Don't deny the right of Virginian women to legal abortions and healthcare.
