This bill, titled the "Ensuring Women's Right to Reproductive Freedom Act," aims to prevent state-level interference with access to abortion services across state lines. It specifically prohibits any person acting under color of State law from restricting or retaliating against healthcare providers offering lawful abortion services to patients from other states. This protection extends to those who assist such providers in delivering these services. The legislation also safeguards individuals' ability to travel across state lines to obtain lawful abortion services and protects those who assist such travelers. Furthermore, it prohibits interference with the interstate movement of FDA-approved drugs used for pregnancy termination. Violations of these prohibitions can lead to civil actions brought by the Attorney General for declaratory and injunctive relief. Additionally, the bill establishes a private right of action , allowing any harmed individual to sue for declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as compensatory damages for economic losses and emotional pain and suffering. Prevailing plaintiffs may also be awarded reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The Act includes a severability clause and clarifies that it does not limit the fundamental right to travel or existing enforcement authorities.
