    This proposed bill aims to ensure that women suffering from Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS) have access to treatment. It would require locally funded clinics to open in every city to provide treatment. The bill cites several studies finding higher rates of mental health issues in women who have abortions. It also notes that treatment is important for recovery from PASS. The statutory language mandates abolishing prohibitions on abortion and requires the federal government to enforce and fund the new clinics providing oversight and treatment.
