Preventing Abortion Sanctuaries Act

  • lacks laws providing gestational protection at any stage of development;
  • establishes a fund, commission, or similar entity to provide direct financial or logistical support to an individual traveling to the state to receive an abortion; or
  • prohibits enforcement of another state's laws authorizing civil actions against those who receive or seek abortions, perform or induce abortions, or otherwise aid or abet such conduct.
