Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends insurance law to expand mandated coverage for in vitro fertilization by adding anti-discrimination protections and removing a prior-cycle embryo transfer prerequisite for older patients; this affects abortion/personhood-ivf and abortion/funding-insurance topics per the defined axes, with no provisions on other listed topics.
