Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands definitions of abortion assistance and providers, prohibits state and local governmental entities from funding, contracting with, or providing logistical support (including for travel) to abortion providers or assistance entities, and strengthens civil enforcement mechanisms. All provisions substantively restrict legal access to abortion by cutting off public resources and support; no provisions expand access, address gestational limits, exceptions, medication abortion, personhood or ballot measures.
