Virginia Coalition to Protect Women's Health http://www.coalitionforwomenshealth.org/ These laws are called "TRAP laws,” which stands for Targeted Regulations Against Abortion Providers.

In March 2011, Governor McDonnell signed SB 924, a bill that classifies women’s health centers in the state as a category of hospitals, making them subject to new regulations created by the Department of Health. Laws that target only abortion providers have nothing to do with the safe delivery of services for women and everything to do with legislators’ efforts to restrict access to reproductive h

ealthcare. Women’s health centers that provide a full range of comprehensive health care services could close because of an inability to meet regulations that have nothing to do with women’s health and safety. The Governor has imposed an “emergency” regulatory process to create the new rules, which will limit time for deliberation and public input. Because of the rapid nature of this process, we need pro-choice activists like you to help us educate Virginians about the regulatory process and the impact that new medically-unnecessary regulations on abortion providers could have on women’s access to healthcare.
