Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends existing law to extend the postpartum Medicaid eligibility period from 12 to 24 months by striking shorter durations and inserting the longer term; this directly affects abortion/funding-insurance by expanding publicly funded health coverage duration for women post-pregnancy (including any abortion-related services that may qualify), while the core topic is continuation of eligibility rather than a specific abortion provision.
