Why the model tagged it this way: The bill solely repeals s. 381.96, which established a state program for pregnancy support and wellness services (an alternative to abortion). This removal of services and associated funding restricts abortion-related policy by reducing support options for continuing pregnancies. No other topics are substantively addressed.
