TRAP is a trap for women
 

First trimester abortions are simple and safe.  Unnecessary, costly, burdensome regulations under the guise of helping women  is a trap designed to decrease women’s access to safe legal abortions. Women should be able to make reproductive decisions, in consultation with their physicians, without unnecessary obstacles preventing their access to care.
