AbortionotherAI label
↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 60%
Creates liability protections, reporting requirements, and protocols specifically for dispensing emergency contraceptives under a statewide order, facilitating broader access.
Except for wilful misconduct or gross negligence and notwithstanding any other law, a pharmacist acting in good faith is not criminally or civilly liable or subject to professional disciplinary action for dispensing an emergency contraceptive in accordance with the statewide order.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands access to emergency contraception (including post-coital drugs that may prevent implantation) by mandating a statewide pharmacist dispensing order, adding liability shields, and requiring protocols and reporting; this is classified under abortion topics as emergency contraception is closely linked to medication abortion in policy tracking.
