“The regulation of women's health clinics should not be decided on a partisan political basis. The current standards, commonly referred to as 'Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers' or 'TRAP' are the epitome of a government intervention into what should be private health decisions between women and their doctors. The Legislature in Richmond is once again playing partisan politics with women’s healthcare. We have all seen these kinds of medically unnecessary and invasive regulations before – from attempts to require transvaginal ultrasounds, to limits on common forms of birth control.  I oppose the TRAP regulations for what they are: an attempt to regulate women's health centers out of existence in Virginia and another partisan attempt to limit women’s healthcare choices."
