Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the scope of prohibited governmental financial and logistical involvement with abortion by broadening the definitions of abortion provider and assistance entity (including out-of-state travel support), banning taxpayer resource transactions and specific forms of logistical aid such as transportation, lodging, child care, and counseling that encourages abortion, and expanding civil remedies. All provisions substantively address abortion and move toward less access or fewer public resources supporting it.
