Why the model tagged it this way: The bill extends the duration of Medicaid medical assistance for women after pregnancy from 12 to 24 months, which expands funding and insurance coverage for postpartum care (abortion/funding-insurance expands). It also deletes language referencing 'involuntary miscarriage' and adjusts the coverage start date to the last day of pregnancy, but this does not substantively address fetal personhood, IVF, or abortion access, so the personhood-ivf tag is neutral.
