What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would stop federal, state, and local governments from placing many restrictions on abortion services. Before a fetus can survive outside the womb, governments could not limit the types of procedures or medications used, block abortion services through telemedicine, require unnecessary medical steps, or make patients visit in person when it is not medically needed. After a fetus can survive outside the womb, abortions would still be allowed when necessary to protect the patient's life or health, and states could choose to allow them in other situations too. The bill also protects the right to travel between states for abortion services, and it allows the Department of Justice, individuals, or providers to take legal action against states or officials who do not follow these rules.
