Reproductive Freedom for All Act
This bill, S 317 (Reproductive Freedom for All Act), guarantees Americans the right to make reproductive decisions - including access to contraceptives and abortion care - without undue government interference, directly affecting all individuals and state governments. It prohibits states from banning contraceptives or imposing barriers to abortion before fetal viability (when a fetus can survive outside the womb), while allowing reasonable health-related regulations and permitting post-viability abortions when medically necessary to protect a patient’s life or health. The law explicitly bases these protections on established Supreme Court precedents (like *Griswold* and *Roe*) and responds to the *Dobbs* decision by creating federal safeguards. States violating these provisions could face legal challenges seeking court-enforced remedies.
