Key elements of this bill are:
This bill prohibits governmental restrictions on the provision of, and access to, abortion services.
Before fetal viability, governments may not restrict providers from
- using particular abortion procedures or drugs,
- offering abortion services via telemedicine, or
- immediately providing abortion services if delaying risks the patient's health.
Furthermore, governments may not require providers to
- perform unnecessary medical procedures,
- provide medically inaccurate information, or
- comply with credentialing or other conditions that do not apply to providers who offer medically comparable services to abortions.
Additionally, governments may not require patients to make medically unnecessary in-person visits before receiving abortion services or disclose their reasons for obtaining services.
This legislation addresses the rights of people able to give birth to make decisions about their bodies in consultation with their doctors. It also lays the foundation for the right to privacy and the right to protect ourselves from debilitating and irreversible life events. It will impact the immediate health of pregnant persons, but it will also impact the lives of millions of children who will be born into situations that have the potential to irrevocably harm the people they will grow up to be. People who can become pregnant are not vessels for the government to dictate their use.
