Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the scope of pharmacy practice to include administration of reversible progestin-only contraceptive injections (a form of hormonal birth control), with requirements for training, patient-specific prescriptions, prescriber notification, privacy, and eligibility after initial injection. This is classified under abortion topics because reversible progestin-only injections are a medication-based method of preventing pregnancy, akin to medication abortion in the topic framework; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
