Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act

Sponsored By: Representative Fletcher

Introduced

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.

Show full summary
  • 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.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

How you could enforce these rights

If enacted, you would be able to sue in federal court if someone violates these protections. You could ask a judge to stop the harm and award money for your losses and emotional distress. If you win, the court could make the defendant pay your reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The U.S. Attorney General could also sue to stop violations.

Protects interstate abortion care and travel

If enacted, this bill would bar people acting under state law from blocking or punishing interstate abortion care. Providers could treat out-of-state patients if the care is legal where it is given. You could travel to another state for legal abortion care, and people who help you could not be punished. FDA‑approved abortion pills could move across state lines if federal rules allow it. It would also make clear that nothing here limits the basic right to travel.

What care, providers, and places count

If enacted, the bill would define what is covered. “Abortion service” would include abortion care, FDA‑approved abortion drugs, and related medical care. “Health care provider” would include licensed doctors, certified nurse‑midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists. “Drug” would use the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act definition. “State” would include the 50 states, DC, territories like Puerto Rico and Guam, and tribal nations.

If one part fails, others stay

If enacted, if a court struck down one piece of the bill, the rest would still apply. This would help keep the other protections in place.
