TRAP must be repealed. Virginia's health care and abortion clinics have always maintained high standards of care and safety for their clients. TRAP is an obvious ruse to excuse the closure of clinics and deny the women of the Commonwealth access to services to which they have every legal right. 

To maintain these regulations is, at bottom, to put the health and well being fo Virginian women and families at risk. TRAP will only succeed in driving abortion underground to genuinely dangerous back-alley providers. Care for the women of this state means respect for their physical health and their moral agency. 

Numbers are not yet in, but accendotes from Texas indicate that women there are already suffering at the loss of the majority of the clinics in that state. 

Also, please, as you review these comments, note that over 40% of them are auto-generated, having been posted in quick succession in several bursts. The proportion of comment on this forum does not, not even nearly, reflect the majority view of Virginian's, which is pro-choice and and pro-access.

Many thanks for the opportunity to comment on this matter.

Sincerely,

Simone Roberts
