Protecting doctors who provide reproductive care
Sponsored by Kim Schrier
What the bill does
This bill would create a federal right for doctors and other health care providers to offer reproductive health services, including abortion and contraception, as long as those services are legal in the state where they are provided. It would block states from passing laws that restrict or penalize providers for offering such care. The bill also sets up grant programs to help providers with legal costs and security upgrades, and it bars insurance companies from denying coverage to providers who offer these services.
The stakes
This bill would affect how states can regulate reproductive health care. It could change the balance of power between state and federal governments on this issue, and it would provide financial support to providers who might face legal challenges or security threats.
