The bill would also extend protections to people seeking contraception, seeking gender-affirming health care or living with same-sex partners.
would prevent D.C. from aiding in any interstate investigation seeking to penalize people for coming to the District to get or perform an abortion. It also would create a private right of action against parties that “successfully bring Texas-style bounty claims” against anyone engaging in the protected conduct in the District, noted Nadeau , referring to the Texas law allowing private citizens to sue people involved in performing an abortion after the restrictive six-week window.
“It is rare that we get a sneak peek into a court decision that will have such a devastating impact to our residents, and it’s clear from the draft opinion that even more than the right to abortion is at stake,” Nadeau said in a statement Friday evening.
But while abortion rights proponents have applauded D.C.’s protective laws, the city is in a position unlike other blue jurisdictions. Because D.C. is not a state, Congress has oversight of its laws. And this week,they feared that if Republicans take control of Congress after the November midterm elections, they could seek to ban or severely restrict abortion in the nation’s capital. Congress already prohibits D.C. from using local dollars to subsidize abortions for low-income women on Medicaid.
