Ensure women's access to health centers / End TRAP restrictions
 

TRAP was designed to close women's health centers that provide abortion services.  The list of requirements / restrictions is not focused on patient health and safety.  TRAP needs to be rescinded or amended to align with science- and fact-based medical practices.

Women's health centers strive every day to ensure women receive high quality care in a safe, respectful environment.  The TRAP restrictions do nothing to improve patient health and safety. Instead, they cut women off from access to a wide variety of health care services, including family planning, cancer screenings, and primary care.

Put women's health first, and ideologically-driven restrictions last.
