Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new category allowing minors to consent to contraception-related medical care (defined as reversible FDA-approved methods), which expands access to contraception. It explicitly carves out abortion, preserving the status quo for that procedure without changing gestational limits, funding, or other abortion rules.
