Oppose TRAP Regulations
 

I oppose TRAP regulations and ask that you reconsider the proposed regulations because TRAP will hurt those who need quality medical care the most. 

We all know the regulations are politically motivated and have already caused some clinics to shut down because the changes they would have to make to their physical plants are impossible or too costly.  Whether you oppose abortion or not, you should oppose the TRAP regulations.  Yes, medical facilities need to be regulated in order to protect the citizens, but the regulations should not prevent the care that is needed.

This is an important issue to me and I cast my votes accordingly.
