Summary
Preventing Forced Abortions Act of 2024
Curator notes
Primarily an anti-abortion; anti-surrogacy bill; but defines "female" as having "a reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes eggs for fertilization." Closer to Heritage Founation's "Defining Sex Act" definition than WBR's definition.
