Board of Health,

Abortion clinics and women's health centers are critical resources for women's medical care.  These services must be accessible and available to women.  Repealing the cumbersome TRAP laws placed upon these clinics is absolutely necessary- they place an undue burden on these medical facilities and deprive women of essential health services.  It is our right to care for our medical needs with a doctor.  The Board of Health must not interfere with this basic right and ensure that women can obtain the care they need.   As a young female voter, this issue is as centrally important to me as it is thousands of women across the Commonwealth.  We are paying attention and will stand up for our rights to safe and legal abortion.
