Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates and funds a federal program specifically to expand abortion care training, clinical education, provider recruitment and retention, telehealth, partnerships, and transition to practice, with priority for states where training is permitted and for underserved communities. This directly increases access to and supply of abortion services without imposing limits, bans, or regulations that restrict providers.
