Bill overview
The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021 aims to safeguard a person’s ability to make decisions about their pregnancy and protect healthcare providers’ capacity to offer abortion services. It prohibits states from imposing restrictions that limit access to abortion, such as telemedicine, drug prescriptions, or immediate services, and prevents requirements that force medically unnecessary procedures or provide inaccurate information. The bill also prohibits state measures that single out abortion services for more burdensome regulations than similar medical procedures. Furthermore, it establishes a legal right for healthcare providers to offer abortion services without undue restrictions and outlines factors for courts to consider when evaluating such restrictions.
