The Women's Health Protection Act

The Women’s Health Protection Act is a proposed law in the United States aimed at safeguarding the right to access abortion services. It seeks to ensure that individuals can obtain abortions without overly restrictive state laws, such as waiting periods or mandatory counseling that could create barriers. By establishing federal protections, the act intends to uphold reproductive rights and provide consistent access to healthcare for women across the country, especially in states where abortion rights may be threatened. The act reflects ongoing legislative efforts to protect women’s health and autonomy in making medical decisions.
