## Summary

**Protects interstate access to abortion services** by barring state-based interference with out-of-state patients, providers, helpers, and the interstate movement of FDA-approved abortion drugs. It would let the Justice Department sue and give harmed people a private right to seek court orders and damages. - People traveling across state lines for abortions that are lawful where provided would be protected from state actions that block travel or assistance. - Health care providers and anyone who helps them could not be stopped by state actors from providing or enabling abortions to nonresidents so long as the care is lawful in the destination state. - Enforcement tools include Justice Department civil suits for injunctive relief and a private right of action that allows declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory damages for economic losses and emotional pain, and reasonable attorney's fees for prevailing plaintiffs.
