Protecting the rights of patients and healthcare providers to access and provide reproductive and gender-affirming care is essential. This bill safeguards crucial medical services that allow individuals to make deeply personal decisions about their bodies and identities. By shielding providers from legal repercussions for offering this care, it ensures patients can receive the treatment they need without undue barriers. Upholding bodily autonomy and gender self-determination is a matter of human rights. This legislation is a positive step towards enshrining these principles into law and preventing discrimination in healthcare access. I urge you to vote in favor of this bill to preserve these fundamental freedoms.
