Act Guaranteeing Reproductive Freedom and Access to Contraception Nationwide

This Act aims to guarantee Americans the freedom to make reproductive decisions without undue government interference, including ensuring access to contraception. It prevents states from banning contraception or imposing substantial obstacles on terminating a pregnancy before fetal viability. After viability, states may regulate abortion but must allow it if medically necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant woman.
Key points
Guarantees the right to obtain and use contraceptives and contraceptive care across all states, preventing state bans.
Prohibits states from imposing laws that create a "substantial obstacle" to accessing abortion before the fetus is viable.
Ensures abortion must be permitted at any stage of pregnancy if medically indicated to protect the woman's life or health, based on appropriate medical judgment.
