I oppose the TRAP regulations!
 

I oppose the TRAP regulations! I believe in and want to protect women’s access to reproductive health care and put a stop to politics at patient expense.

 

  • Extensive requirements for clinic buildings that are unrelated to the services health centers provide and have no proven medical benefit will reduce or eliminate patient access to health care.
  • The regulations will increase the financial hurdles to health care for patients, with no proven medical benefit to patients. Women need more access to affordable, high quality health care, not less.
