↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Deletes the mandate for physicians to document gestational age and intrauterine location of the pregnancy to determine whether an ectopic pregnancy exists before providing an abortion-inducing drug, so less regulation of medication abortion providers.
[deleted: document, in the woman's medical record, the gestational age and intrauterine location of the pregnancy to determine whether an ectopic pregnancy exists; (4)]
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the definition of abortion-inducing drug by deleting methotrexate from the list of included drugs and removes a documentation requirement related to ectopic pregnancies before administering such drugs; these changes reduce regulatory burdens on medication abortion without adding new limits, resulting in two 'expands' tags under abortion topics. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
