Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands restrictions on governmental funding, transactions, and logistical support (travel, child care, etc.) for abortions or providers, including out-of-state, and broadens who qualifies as an abortion provider or assistance entity; all changes reduce access to or support for abortion services.
