North Carolina H509 codifies reproductive rights, ensuring access to abortion services and limiting restrictions.

North Carolina H509, the Right to Reproductive Freedom Act, aims to codify protections for reproductive rights in the state. The bill defines "undue burden" as any obstacle in the path of a person seeking to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability. It prohibits the state from imposing such burdens and allows restrictions only after fetal viability if necessary to preserve the life or health of the person. The act also ensures that medical professionals, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives, receive the same immunity as physicians.
