AI Summary
This bill modernizes and updates Washington's laws to preserve a pregnant individual's ability to access abortion care. It amends various provisions of the state's reproductive privacy act to replace gendered language with gender-neutral terms, clarify that advanced practice clinicians can provide abortion services, and prohibit the state from penalizing or prosecuting individuals for their pregnancy outcomes or for assisting a pregnant individual in exercising their reproductive rights. The bill aims to promote inclusive access to affordable, high-quality sexual and reproductive healthcare, including abortion, and recognize that transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people also require these services.
