Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision allowing a memorial monument for unborn children on Capitol grounds, which substantively touches on fetal personhood by recognizing unborn children in this way (restricts abortion/personhood-ivf axis) and is ceremonial in nature (neutral for abortion/other). The deletion in SECTION 2 is a technical update to an exceptions list and does not change the direction.
