Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds pregnancy, recent birth, or nursing as a mandatory consideration factor in bail determinations under § 19.2-120(C), which can expand access to pretrial release for pregnant persons; this ties to abortion-related policy on treatment of pregnant individuals but does not address gestational limits, funding, or other core abortion provisions.
