This bill allows family members of a woman who had an abortion to sue individuals involved, regardless of where the action took place. It provides for damages up to $100,000, and protects the woman's privacy in court. The bill seeks to limit the effect of foreign laws on these actions. This could impact abortion access and legal disputes involving abortion across state lines.
Vote Yes on this bill if you want to provide broader legal recourse for family members affected by abortion and enforce state-specific civil remedies.
Organizations that support this bill may include those advocating for more stringent controls on abortion procedures and increased legal pathways for family members affected by abortion decisions.
Vote No on this bill if you want to protect existing privacy rights and limit additional legal actions against parties involved in abortion procedures.
Organizations that oppose this bill may include groups that advocate for women's rights and privacy in healthcare decisions, emphasizing less legal intervention in abortion cases.
