Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a grant program and dedicated fund specifically to train more providers (physicians, NPs, PAs, midwives, residents) in performing abortions, which expands access to abortion services by increasing the number of trained providers and uses state funding for this purpose. No provisions restrict abortion, impose limits, or address other tracked topics.
