No on TRAP. BAD PUBLIC POLICY.
 

TRAP is a prime example of policy makers who impose their own will and positions upon the general public without their consultation first. THIS IS BAD PUBLIC POLICY. TRAP has nothing to do with health standards. It is only about the position that abortion should be eliminated. If policy makers really care about public health, they will leave these standards to non-partisan parties who actually know about health care standards. Stop using public law and taxpayer money to support some twisted version of faith and religion. By the way, what you are doing is actually illegal:  using religious belief to dictate publicly funded policy. It’s clear that this is why these unsubstantiated and stupid claims of health standards were made to deflect from what is really being done. Maybe it’s time for a petition to put this to a public vote, where the ultimate decision should rest in the first place.
