Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses abortion through an expanded definition of ectopic pregnancy that includes nonviable intrauterine cases (potentially affecting personhood-related interpretations), mandates education on abortion definitions that emphasize exclusions protecting unborn life, and requires training on medical-emergency exceptions and care for spontaneous abortions involving a dead unborn child. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
