Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Virginia law to require selection of a new essential health benefits benchmark plan that adds mandated insurance coverage for infertility treatment, iatrogenic infertility, fertility preservation (including embryo banking), and assisted reproductive technology. These provisions directly address abortion/personhood-ivf and abortion/other by expanding coverage of IVF-linked services; no provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
