Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new federal grant program that funds travel and logistical costs (but not the procedure itself) for people seeking abortions, prioritizes those traveling from states with bans or restrictions, preempts contrary state laws, and bars federal cooperation with state anti-abortion enforcement actions against the program. These provisions expand practical and financial access to abortion services, especially interstate travel, and expand public funding for abortion-related support.
