=No change to abortion accessmodel confidence 70%
Defines 'reproductive health care services' to explicitly include 'services relating to pregnancy or the termination of a pregnancy' and creates a specific crime tied to facilities providing such services.
"Reproductive health care services" means health care services provided in a hospital, clinic, physician's office or other facility and includes medical, surgical, counseling or referral services relating to the human reproductive system, including services relating to pregnancy or the termination of a pregnancy.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new penal offense specifically targeting photography of people at reproductive health care facilities (including abortion providers), which regulates activities around clinics. It also defines reproductive health care services to include termination of pregnancy. The exemptions for protected speech and labor activities do not change the core restrictive effect on non-exempt photography.
