Bill Summary
A bill to guarantee that Americans have the freedom to make certain reproductive decisions without undue government interference.
AI Summary
This bill aims to guarantee the freedom for Americans to make certain reproductive decisions without undue government interference, consistent with key Supreme Court precedents such as Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The bill prohibits states from banning contraception or imposing undue burdens on the ability of a woman to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability. It allows states to regulate termination after fetal viability, provided they do not prohibit it to protect the life or health of the pregnant woman. The bill empowers the Attorney General or any person adversely affected by state laws to seek injunctive relief, and defines key terms like "fetal viability" and "undue burden." It also includes a severability clause to preserve the remainder of the act if any provision is held invalid.
