Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a state-level right to reproductive freedom that explicitly includes the right to obtain an abortion and bars local governments from imposing stricter rules, expanding legal access to abortion; it also broadly defines reproductive health care (including abortion) but makes no changes to funding or insurance, resulting in a neutral effect on that subtag.
