"This bill opens the door to lawsuits against medical professionals, pregnancy care centers, and even teachers for their speech, pro-life advocacy, or conscience-based decisions." Kristen Waggoner, Alliance Defending Freedom
The bill’s definition of CONTRACEPTION is extremely broad:
The term “contraception” means an action taken to prevent pregnancy, including the use of contraceptives or fertility-awareness-based methods and sterilization procedures. (*chemical castration??)
This broad definition could, and likely would, create a “right” for children to have access to puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones and potentially even so-called “gender affirming” (mutilation) surgeries.
The bill will for sure include a “right” to a chemical abortion, making these drugs available to minor children over the counter and no doubt, expanding the availability of mail order abortion drugs.
