TRAP laws are a TRAP
 

Please do not move forward in passing TRAP laws! They infringe upon women's constitutionally protected reproductive rights and overall freedom. TRAP laws TRAP women into relying upon unsafe measures to carry out abortions in order to   sidestep excessive red tape, increased costs, and limited abortion access. These laws in particular oppress women stemming from marginalized backgrounds and exist to further dismantle this population; keeping  "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" from experiencing nationally boasted "sex and class equality". 

Our communities need abortion clinics. And we need to improve, not further obliterate access to abortion clinics!
