North Carolina S467 codifies protections for abortion access, aligning state law with Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

The Right to Reproductive Freedom Act aims to ensure access to safe and legal abortion services in North Carolina by codifying essential holdings from Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. It prohibits the state from imposing undue burdens on a person's ability to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability and allows restrictions only after fetal viability if necessary to preserve the life or health of the person. The act also mandates that the State Health Plan not provide abortion coverage beyond what is offered by the State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees.
