Remove restrictive refulation
 
Abortion is a safe and valid medical procedure that women and trans people need for numerous reasons. The VA regulations requiring transvaginal ultrasounds and long waiting periods are obvious attempts to punish people for their healthcare decisions. We should trust and respect people who do not want or cannot have a pregnancy. Remove restrictive regulations so all people can have full autonomy over their bodies and lives.
