These laws isolate the medical practices of doctors and companies who provide and spread awareness about abortions and foist unnecessary demands that are different and more burdensome than those that apply to other medical practices. They are expensive, extraneous laws which are near impossible to meet and may not even be practical in existing facilities. 24 states in the United States of America have policies or laws that control or manage abortion providers in a way that is beyond the necessities to ensure the safety of the patient. Some examples of the outrageous TRAP laws include regulating the size of the room in which the abortion is completed and specific measurements of the width of corridors in abortion clinics. One state even requires the doctor performing the operation to be a board-certified obstetrician-gynaecologist or eligible for certification. The laws above are evidently useless and unnecessary as there is a range other providers that are capable of performing abortions. The scarcity of abortion centres is harmful to woman’s health and restricts their reproductive choices, jeopardising their access to secure, lawful, high-quality reproductive health care. Significant medical associations have gone on record withstanding TRAP laws. Some of these medical associations encompass the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) who oppose a bill passed in Texas that requires abortion clinics to meet ridiculous surgical facility requirements. Both medical associations, in court, contended that the TRAP law “does not serve the health of women in Texas but instead jeopardises women’s health by restricting access to abortion providers”. Steps need to be taken to verify that the Constitution rightly protects women from derogatory
