Bill Sponsorship: Women's Health Protection Act
Source: H.R.3471 & S.1696
Congressional summary:: Women's Health Protection Act: makes the following limitations concerning abortion services unlawful and prohibits their imposition or application by any government:
  • a requirement that a medical professional perform specific tests, unless generally required in the case of medically comparable procedures;
  • a limitation on an abortion provider's ability to delegate tasks;
  • a limitation on an abortion provider's ability to prescribe or dispense drugs based on her or his good-faith medical judgment;
  • a requirement or limitation concerning the physical plant, equipment, staffing, or hospital transfer arrangements;
  • a requirement that, prior to obtaining an abortion, a woman make medically unnecessary visits to the provider of abortion services or to any individual or entity that does not provide such services;
  • a prohibition or ban prior to fetal viability

Opponent's argument against (Live Action News): This is Roe v. Wade on steroids. The bill is problematic from the very beginning. Its first finding addresses "women's ability to participate equally"; many have rejected this claim that women need abortion in order to be equal to men, or that they need to be like men at all. The sponsors of this pro-abortion bill also seem to feel that pro-life bills have had their time in this country, and that we must now turn back to abortion. The bill also demonstrates that its proponents have likely not even bothered attempting to understand the laws they are seeking to undo, considering that such laws are in place to regulate abortion in order to make it safer. Those who feel that abortion is best left up for the states to decide will also find this bill problematic with its overreach. Sadly, the bill also uses the Fourteenth Amendment to justify abortion, as the Supreme Court did, even though in actuality it would make much more sense to protect the lives of unborn Americans.

Also see the related Senate bill S.1696.
