AI Summary
This bill, the Women's Health Protection Act of 2022, aims to protect a person's ability to determine whether to continue or end a pregnancy, and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide abortion services. It would supersede and preempt state laws that restrict access to abortion services, including by prohibiting requirements that single out abortion services for more burdensome regulations than other comparable medical procedures. The bill is intended to promote access to abortion services and women's ability to participate equally in the economic and social life of the United States, based on Congress's authority under the Constitution.
